As soon as the drainage-holes are healed, passive, but especially active, exer-cises should commence, aided by massage and faradism applied to the partial exsection of the joint, little lateral mobility will be these cases no special apparatus will be required. But where much lateralmobility, due to extensive removal of bones, is present, the use of an apini-ratus confining the movements ofthe joint to flexion and extensionwill be required.
