Antiseptic surgery : an address delivered at St. Thomas's Hospital : with the subsequent debate to which are added a short statement of the theory of the antiseptic method, a description of the materials employed in carrying it out, and some applications of the method to operations and injuries in different regions of the body, and to wounds received in war. can recollect,just as in the case of compound fractures, how very seriousand frequent were the bad consequences of such operationson bone previously, especially in the lower limb. We are now justified in performing many operations fordeformity which we pre\iously would not have attempted. The knock-knee of young persons can be treated with J.

But in severer cases of pronounced genu valgum,.

The third cut represents the position andsize of the gap in the bone required to effect straightening the limb. Thisdeficiency becomes subsequently filled with bone, so that the defectivedevelopment of the femur on the outer side of the bone is com
