Make the incision too long rather than too soon as the skin is completely divided exclude it from the rest of the woundby sterile cloths held in place by a few stitches or by volsellae. Complete theexposure of the fracture by blunt and sharp dissection. Never touch the wound with the bare hand; make all necessary manipulationswith instruments (Konigs rule).

Having thoroughly exposed the ends of the bone, remove all blood-clot and materials intervening between them. Fritz K5nig advises againsta too thorough removal of all material between the fractured surfaces, as naturewill attend to this and much of the material here present is of value in the forma-tion of callus; it is only necessary to remove such structures as will probablyinterfere with union. Konig writes (Archiv fur klin. Chir., Ixxvi, 725):except in resections (when union has been despaired of) or when there is ab-normal effusion into involved joints, we do not concern ourselves much withblood-clots. 88o OPERATIVE TREATMENT OF SIMPLE FRACTURES Lane, however, thinks thai bones ought to unite witli practically no callus.
