In these cases we have seen that a restoration of flexion is sought, but a dressing of the elbowin a flexed position is not suitablefor a fracture which involves impair-ment of proper extension. We recall the fact that the bra- chialis anticus muscle is inserted into the base of the coronoid process of the ,^^.. ulna; that the triceps muscle is in- tm^•^i^^ ^m serted into the posterior part of the upper surface of the olecranon andinto the fascia of t
