Amputation at the elbow is performed by making a single flap from the muscles and skin in front of the joint. The head of the radius is disarticulated first: the ulna is then to be sawed, so as to let the olecranon remain. AMPUTATION OF THE FORE-ARM. The tourniquet is applied to the brachial artery as in other opera- tions upon this extremity. Two flaps are formed, one on the dorsal, the other on the palmar aspect. These are best Fig. 44. are made by transfixion and cutting outwards. The amputation should be performed as near the wrist as circumstances will admit of; although below the middle it is not easy to obtain sufficiency of flaps. But, the general rule is, to remove as little as possible from the organs of prehen- sion ; and operations are attended with less risk to life the farther they are removed from the trunk. Amputation at the Wrist.—The disarticula- tion of the radio-carpal joint is readily eflfected by commencing at the styloid process of the radius. A dorsal and palmar flap is made of the skin, to be allowed to remain. Amputation of the Fingers.—The hemorrhage may be con- trolled by an assistant's grasping the wrist tightly. The finger may be amputated at a joint or in the middle of a phalanx, though it is important to save as much as possible. The operation may be circu- lar, or with a flap, which should be made from the palmar aspect of the finger. CANCER.
