M. le Clerc, The Compleat Surgeon — Operations of Fractures (1696)
“ If both the Bones of the Elbow be broken, a stronger Extension is to be made than if only one of 'em were so hurt; to which purpose a Servant is to be appointed to grasp the Arm above the Elbow with both his Hands, and another to hold it above the Wrist, whilst the Surgeon sets the Bones with the Palms of both his Hands, till no unevenness be any longer felt in the Part.The Dressing and Bandage Are the same with those in the Fracture of the Arm; but the Bands which are carry'd upward are to be stay'd above the Elbow. ”
