Thearrangement is shown applied inFig. 35. the forearm in a suitable splint often results in non-union in fracture at thesurgical neck and in fractures of the shaft of the bone. Therefore I am in thehabit of using, in this class of fractures, an internal angular splint (Fig. 32) witha shoulder cap (Figs. 34 and 35); a description of the angular splint will be found on page 131. Sometimes the shoulder capis used alone, with the arm and forearm immo-bilized against the body. Reduction is accomplished by employing suf-ficient extension to bring the lower fragment intoline with the upper one. At the sniiic time ma-nipulation of the arm may be required. The frag-ments must be held tightly while the splints arebeing applied. Permanent traction i> sometimesneeded for the purpose of preventing shorteningwith angular displacement.
