A system of surgery : pathological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and operative . f the tibia, by means of Fig- 348. Seutins scissors, repiesented in fig 348, one of the blades of whichis probe-pointed, and, therefore,well adapted to the object. Thelimb being properly supported byan assistant, the hardened shell isgently peeled off from its surface,which is next carefully spongedwith alcohol and laudanum, orspirits of camphor, when the apparatus is immediately reapplied with the aid ofa roller. Thus, bj simply removing the bandage from time to time, an opportu-nity is afforded of inspecting the limb, and ascertaining its precise condition, notonly at the seat of fracture, but everywhere else. When the patient is able to move about on crutches, the limb should be care-fully supported in a sling, arranged in the manner represented in fig. 349. If the fracture is seated high up in the leg, the apparatus should extend ashort distance above the knee, as it then becomes a matter of great moment tokeep the joint in as passive a condition as possible. In compound fracture,. Seutias scissors. Fig. 349. Fig. 350.
