Elliptical Method.—In this method of amputating atthe elbow an incision is carried from the olecranon processdownward and forward to a point a little above the middleof the forearm ; it is then continued across the anterioraspect of the limb, and is carried back to the olecranonprocess (Fig. 403). The incision includes only the skinand the cellular tissue. The flap having been dissectedup for a short distance, the soft pa
