AMPUTATIONS AT THE ELBOW. The methods of amputation employed at the elbow arethe anterior flap, lateral flap, circular, and elliptical. Anterior Flap Method.—A flap three inches in length,with its base parallel to and half an inch below thecondyles of the humerus, is cut either by transfixion orfrom without inwTard. The joint is next opened and thelateral ligaments divided. The olecranon is then ex-posed, the attachment of the triceps muscle separated,and a posterior flap cut from without inward, or fromwithin outward, a little below the line of the condvles(Fig. 397, A). Lateral Flap Method.—In amputation at the elbow-joint lateral flaps may be employed, cut either from with-out inward or by transfixion (Fig. 397, B). A flap threeinches in length is made on the outer side of the forearm,starting from a point a fingers breadth below the bend 32 498 AMPUTATIONS. Fig. 398. Fig.
