This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1801 edition. Excerpt: ... articulation may be ascertained by taking the tacTr,aie styloid processes of the radius and ulna as our guide, which may be joint. felt by uiajjirig firin lateral pressure on the carpal joint, and from their extremities a transverse line should be drawn across the back of the hand, a finger's breadth and nearly a half below which, will correspond with the line of connection between the carpal and metacarpal bones. If the injury sustained by the metacarpal bones be so close to the articulation as to render it difficult to preserve any part of them, they had better be removed from the carpal joint. AMPUTATION OF ALL THE METACARPAL BONES AT THE CARPAL ARTICULATION, EXCEPT THAT OF THE THUMB. The articulation, suppose of the left hand, determined by the above rule, being ascertained, a line is to be commenced on the ulnar side of the hand in pronation, at somewhat more than an inch Llne for below the styloid process, and continued downwards in this aspect 8p for a full inch in length. This line, which should then be carried across the hand, in a slight curve, formed towards the roots of the fingers, should terminate opposite, about the middle of the metacarpal bone of the thumb, and at about an inch from the centre of the bone, when in abduction. From the extremity of this line, a second line should be drawn, on extending the thumb, across the fold of integument that connects it to the index finger, which should be carried round the thumb to its palmar surface, dividing this fold considerably nearer to the index than to the thumb, and continued two inches in length on this surface, parallel to, and at a distance of full one inch and three quarters from the dorsal surface of its metacarpal bone. A third line, somewhat convex from this point,...
