Text Appearing Before Image:
eferred to us, wheretwelve hours after application of the splints, extensive ulcerationhad occurred. Then again, especially in very active infants, thereis a tendency for the splints to fall off. A properly applied plasterof Paris bandage will obviate these disagreeable mishaps. In discussing the treatment of fractures of the forearm, we willtake in consideration their location, and will divide them into thoseof the shaft and those low down. Where there is a fracture of the shafts of both bones, or of theshaft of the ulna or of the radius alone, the deformity, should onebe present, is reduced. A plaster of Paris circular bandage is thenapplied, extending from the middle of the arm above, to the meta-carpophalangeal joints below, leaving the fingers unconfined. Theelbow should be held at a right angle and the forearm midway be-tween pronation and supination. The patient should be encouragedto exercise the fingers actively from the very first.
