Radiographs as a Guide to Treatment. — Simon D., twenty-sevenyears old, entered the hospital April 18, 1899, patient of Dr. patient fractured his left radius and both femurs by falling aboutforty feet in an elevator. About two months and a half later the FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS 489 X-ray photograph was taken, which showed bowing of the radius andsupination limited over two-thirds. The end of the left radius hadgrown to the ulna. (See page 484.) To improve rotation an operation was performed by Dr. Gushing onthe radius. An incision was made over the site of the fracture and the. Fig. 262. Left colles fracture. Patient of Dr. J. B. Blake. Two views of a fracture of the wristshould always be taken — one from front to back and the other from side to side — and this is nowdone as a matter of routine at the Boston City Hospital. 490 THE ROENTGEN RAYS IN MEDICINE AND SURGERY old callus was divided with a chisel. Adhesions with the ulna werebroken away, and the smallest possible piece was sawed off of each endof the radius to square them. The ends of the radius were then drilledand wired with silver wire, as seen in the radiograph, taken about twomonths after this operation was done. (See Fig. 258.)
