Summary

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.

M. le Clerc The Compleat Surgeon — Operations of Fractures (1696)

The Plain of this Sling is to be laid upon the Fracture, causing the upper Heads to pass behind the Nape of the Neck, which are to be brought back again forward; the lower Heads are likewise to be carry'd behind, crossing above the upper, and afterward to be return'd forward. If the Bones of the Nose be not timely reduc'd, a great Deformity soon happens therein, and a Stink caus'd by the Excrescences and Polypus's.
