A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . Listons double inclined plane, applied to the leg in case of compound fracture.(From Miller.) constructed of boards, joined together by hinges opposite the knee, andwith an upright foot-board, upon which a carefully-arranged and thickcushion has been placed; or the more elegant double inclined plane ofListon. In using Listons apparatus, it must not be inferred that the knee isalways to be bent. The apparatus is designed to be used occasionally 486 FRACTURES OF THE TIBIA AND FIBULA, as a straight splint; and there will be found many cases of fractures ofthe legs in which the straight position will be most suitable: this is espe-cially true of such fractures as, occurring just below the knee-joint, have Fig. Louis Bauers wire splints for the the line of fracture directed obliquely downward and forward. But thereare many compound fractures which demand the same extended position;and in nearly all cases where this form of apparatus is used as a doubleinclined plane, the lower end of the splint should be elevated so that theheel shall not be much below the level of the knee.
