In those cases, where none of the expedients mentioned aboveare at hand, or where together with considerable displacement of thefragments, a good deal of inflammatory infiltration of the whole limbhas set in, it is recommended to employ Potts lateral position for atime, i. e., to place the leg upon its outer side, semiflexed at theknee and hip, by which means the muscles are relaxed, and anydisturbance of the circulation avoided. If possible, the limb is placedupon cushions in such a manner, that the foot lies higher than therest of the limb, and the many-tailed bandage is applied to the wound(fig. 191). 6. If it is desirable to employ irrigation for injuries of the leg,the contrivance represented in fig. 17 is recommended for that purpose. 90
