These fractures may also be dressedwith a well-padded internal angular splint, this splintbeing substituted by an anterior angular splint at the endof ten days or two weeks. Some surgeons prefer to dress fractures of the condylesof the humerus with the arm in the extended position upona straight anterior splint, or with short, narrow pasteboardsplints applied around the joint, as favoring more accurate Fig. 271.
