The treatment of fractures . Fig. 336-—Fracture of the metacarpal of the index-finger. Completion of traction. Pressureand counterpressure by thumb on the dorsum and on bandage in the palm of the hand.. Fig. 337.—Fracture of the metacarpal ol the index-finger. Completion of the application olthe dressing. Adhesive-plaster straps holding hand and roller bandage in position. over the upper fragment. These pads arc secured by narrowstrips of adhesive plaster. The whole is then bandaged. If aftercarefully padding the two fragments and immobilizing them the TREATMENT 249 deformity is reproduced, the fragments slipping by each other, itmay be necessary to make permanent traction upon the finger(see Fig. 334). This is best done by applying narrow adhesive-plaster straps to the sides of the finger held in place by circularand oblique straps. The hand rests upon the palmar splint. Anadhesive-plaster circular band passed about the wrist and splintoffers continuous countertraction. If the band is carried be-tween the thumb and forefinger, greater security is obtained, andthere is much less likelihood of slipping of the plaster. The
