I have had, however, no personal clinical experienceof such operative treatment in elbow injuries; and my opinion. Fig. 12.

A few days since I came upon Stimsons statement that inan open fracture of the condyles he had felt constrained topass a long steel pin transversely through both condyles andthe long projecting end of the upper fragment, for in no other 86 THE MODERN TREATMENT OF FRACTURES. way could they be kept in apposition. * I had undoubtedlyseen this report before, but had forgotten it.
