A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . ut any excess or irregularity in the surfaces will unite firmly where they are in actual contact; andsmooth and well-formed buttresses will fill up all the spaces between thebones where they are not in actual contact, sufficient generally to givethe requisite strength to this new bond of union. This mode of unionwill be completed sometimes when the two ends of the bones are separ-ated laterally an inch or more from each other. I have in my collection the bone of a turkeys thigh (Fig. 9) thus united by atransverse bony shaft, although separated more than one inch; and, what is lesscommon, I possess also a specimen of the adult human thigh (Fig. 10), in whichan oblique shaft of solid callus has, after many months, and while no splintswere employed, bound together firmly the two opposite extremities of the brokenbone.
