[It is to be remembered that callus-formation is veryslight in some fractures ; for example, the olecranon, thepatella, and the neck of the femur. For this reason infractures of the patella and olecranon, unless we can getabsolute approximation we resort to an early perfectapproximation of the fragments with some form of suture;.
