If destruction of any part of the articular surfaces can be prevented and the patient allowed ample time for complete resolution of the affected parts to occur, permanent relief is possible. Fracture of the Proximal Sesamoids. Etiology and Occurrence. Fracture of the proximal sesamoid bones is caused by violent strain when there exists fragilitas osseum, or by contusions.

In an athetoid hand, says Starr, the interossei and lumbricales, which flex the metacarpo-phalangeal and extend the phalangeal joints, are affected; rarely are the long extensors and the long flexors affected. Therefore the hand is usually in the so-called interosseal position, with flexion of the proximal and extension of the middle and distal phalanges.

The fact that it does contain such potentialities is the most familiar of every-day biological observations, but not even a proximal explanation of the fact is as yet attainable.

#Arrest of Accidental Hæmorrhage.# The most efficient means of temporarily controlling hæmorrhage is by pressure applied with the finger, or with a pad of gauze, directly over the bleeding point. While this is maintained an assistant makes digital pressure, or applies a tourniquet, over the main vessel of the limb on the proximal side of the bleeding point.

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.

The great error of the untrained mind of the primitive man was that he did not know the value of scientific evidence. He made wide leaps from observed phenomena to imagined causes, quite overlooking the proximal causes that were near to hand.

In Equus, finally, the crowns of the grinding-teeth become longer, and their patterns are slightly modified; the middle of the shaft of the ulna usually vanishes, and its proximal and distal ends ankylose with the radius. The phalanges of the two outer toes in each foot disappear, their metacarpal and metatarsal bones being left as the "splints."

The motor symptoms predominate, the muscles affected being the extensors of the wrist and fingers, and the supinators. If the hand and proximal phalanges are supported, the second and third phalanges may be partly extended by the interossei and lumbricals.

This is readily recognized by palpation. By palpating the suspensory ligament from its proximal portion down to and beyond its bifurcation, while the affected member is supporting weight, it is possible to diagnose rupture of one of its branches. Prognosis and Treatment.

After he had made his "mats" he continued with the other kind of gold fillings, such as he would have occasion to use during the week; "blocks" to be used in large proximal cavities, made by folding the tape on itself a number of times and then shaping it with the soldering pliers; "cylinders" for commencing fillings, which he formed by rolling the tape around a needle called a "broach," cutting it afterwards into different lengths.
