Excerpt from The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, 1837, Vol. 47: Exhibiting a Concise View of the Latest and Most Important Discoveries in Medicine, Surgery and Pharmacy On the 3d of June, I made a perpendicular incision through the ulcer on the outside of the arm, turned out the fracture, and removed by the chain-saw an inch of each end of the bones, which were carious. The disease extended upwards, on the outer side of the bone for more than two inches; but as it seemed to be superficial, l was averse to remove the entire shaft of the hu merus to this extent. I therefore paired it off with a strong curved knife, closed the wound, elevated the elbow to keep the ends of.the bone in contact, and applied a hinge splint.
