Text Appearing Before Image:
iuthe Jones cock-up crab splint bund bar all^^ws the splint toextend forward at any angle from the arm splint, and thus anydegree of fiexion of tlio elbow maintained. Extension on thehumerus iu the usual way to tho end cf the Thomas arm splintagainst a counter pull on the thoracic swathes extending from thering on the well shouider about the thorax on the injured side. Fio. 12.—Simple method of maintaining light extension strapswith Thomas leg or ann splints, devised by Ijientenant F. U. Ober.M.It.C. U.S .\. A four or five inch wire board nail is insertedbetween the extension bands above knot, aud t^.isted like thetightening stick in a * buck sow or a Spanish windlass. Tho headof the nail is caught uudor or over one of ihe bars of the Thomassplint. Any degree of steady traction may thus be obtained. (Thereis an error in the drawing; the number of twists above and belowthe nail should of course be the same.) OCT. 13, 1917) ADAPTATION OF THOMAS AKD JONES SPLINTS fTHK Bainsa s <-fn
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 12. 480 The BnmsH TMedical JontNAl J SPLINT FOR GUNSHOT WOUNDS OF SHOULDER-JOINT. (Oct. 13, 1917 •war experience in which we employed almost exclusivelyand with satisfaction plaster of-Paris dressings, that,except in the occasional case, equally good, perhaps better,results may be obtained by the uge of the Thomas andJones splints. The suggestions made in this note are in no way modi-fications of these splints, but only adaptations which maypossibly be found to increase their usefulness. In fractures of the head or neck of the humerus and ininjuries to the bones or muscles of the shoulder girdle wehave been impressed with the value of fixation with ex-tension in the abducted position. In our experience thereare a surprisingly large number of these injuries. Notonly may better alignment and more speedy subsidence ofthe septic process be gained by the abduction, but the comfort of the patient seems greater in this position.There can ba no doubt that future function is favouredals
