4. Leg piece?Length to measurement from middle of popliteal space to 1 in. beyond heel. Breadth, 5 ins. at knee sloping to 4J ins. at foot end. 5. Foot piece?9 ins. by 4A i?s. This is fixed to leg piece by two 1-inch mortise and tenon joints. It is also nailed to the extension piece. 6. Extension piece?18 ins. by 6 ins. sloping to 5 ins at the top.

متن کاملAutomatic computation of reposition parameters of fractured long bones based on CT-analysis
First of all we segment, label and reconstruct the relevant fragments of the fractured bone in the preoperative computed tomography. After that, we use a voting mechanism to compute bone shaft axis and circumference of the long bone fragments, and separate the fractured surface. This Houghlike method is based on the fact, that most of the surface normals of the superficies surface (periosteum) ...
متن کاملGrowth changes in fractured long-bones: a study of 126 children.
In this study of fractures of the shaft of the tibia and femur in children, the growth rate of these long bones after injury was assessed by serial radiographical measurements of bone length, accurate to the nearest millimetre. Within three months of injury the rate of growth was at its maximum and was 38 per cent in excess of normal. The rate then decreased but remained significantly raised fo...
متن کاملThe Proprioceptive System Regulates Morphologic Restoration of Fractured Bones
Successful fracture repair requires restoration of bone morphology and mechanical integrity. Recent evidence shows that fractured bones of neonatal mice undergo spontaneous realignment, dubbed "natural reduction." Here, we show that natural reduction is regulated by the proprioceptive system and improves with age. Comparison among mice of different ages revealed, surprisingly, that 3-month-old ...
متن کاملA Readily Made Splint for Compound Fractures of the Femur and the Bones of the Leg
the wound may be the strapping is omitted so as to allow ready access to it. An ordinary extension stirrup is applied to the leg and the foot-piece of the stirrup is fastened to a weight by means of a string passing over an ordinary reel acting as a pulley fixed in the vertical foot-piece of the splint. The thigh rests in the padded notch of the buttock-piece and the ischial tuberosity is broug...
