Needles firing has ^iven some results. 11^1^fixation of the arthrophyte to the capsula, or a part outside of the articular surfaces, has been recommended. • The animal kept standing, with the fingers the foreign body is brought to the selected part and fixed, with a very fine steel peg. The region is then imrnobil- ized. After five or six days, the adhesion is perfect, the steel peg is removed. The articular inflammation resulting from this manipulation is treated by cold. This method has but few advocates ; it is difficult ^o find a " convenient spot " to fix the Fig Il8.—Dry arthritis of the stifle joint. Articular surface of the tibia, c, foreign osteo-cartilaginous body attached to the synovial by a peduncle. (From a photograph.) Extraction remains the select operation. But it is delicate in animals ; to safely hold the foreign body during the incision, anesthesia is neces- sary, and the opening of the articulation exposes it to suppurative arthritis : it demands a severe asepsy. Here is the modus operandi. After careful disinfection of the joint, the foreign substance is held fixed with the left hand or the fingers of an assistant. Over it, the operator incises all the peri-articular tissues in avoiding large vessels and nerves. The synovial must not be open until hemostasis is made on the edges of the wound, so as to avoid the introduction of blood into the joint. The arthrophyte may enucleate under the pressure of the fingers or be extracted by forceps. The edges of the wound are closed.
