To discuss the treatment of oblique fractures and not consider "retentive apparatus" and mechanical means, such as are usually employed, necessarily limits what may be said, and I will premise my remarks with the statement that these thoughts may not always incline strictly to the narrow limits of my subject.

Agnew, in his article on "Injuries and Diseases of the Osseous System," says concerning the treatment of fractures, "there is but one indication in the treatment of fractures, and that is to secure the union of the broken bone with the least possible deformity, and this single thought is to animate the surgeon during the entire
