Reduetionwas effected, after several unsuccessful attempts, by, first, adduction ofthe flexed limb, then by the utmost possible abduction, with supina-tion, of the completely extended limb, combined with pressure upon the head of the radius. When the dressings were- removed, :i monthlater, passive movements were wry painful and limited, and, ;i- noimprovement followed, excision was done five months after the head of the radius was found thickened and absolutely fixed, andthe fragment reunited to it by a loose fibrous union; the failure ofunion was attributed to the interposition of a small piece of the artic-ular cartilage. Recovery followed without accident, but the mobilityof the joint was not increased. In the third case the patient had re
