The mcond variety is mainly reduced by bending the arm over theBurgeons knee, as in the preceding case ; less pressure, however, isusually required, as the bones do not require the same separation fromthe humerus. The third variety is replaced still more readily by the same generalplan. Here the bending of the arm is the principal part of the oper-ation, the fixed radius acting like a lever to push the humerus back intoits place on the ulna. To reduce the fourth variety, the surge
