From this experi-ence we learn that theproper treatment ofthis type, just likeman}r other fractures,is based upon individ-ualization. And thiscan very seldom becarried out withoutresorting to applica-tion of the Rontgenrays. In the case of aboy of twelve years,illustrated by , it was the tibialfragment only whichwas displaced.
