mesially

Updated: May 25, 2025

The leather splints are placed mesially and laterally and, of course, need to extend as high as the proximal end of the radius. Subjects must be kept in slings until union of bones has become established, and as a rule there will then exist marked ankylosis. There is no particular difference in the handling of carpal luxation and dislocation of other bones.
