Dislocations of the Wrist.Signs.-The deformity is so characteristic that no detailed description is necessary ; the ends of the bones of the forearm can be felt and seen above the back of the hand or below the palm. The motion of the joint is lost. Treatment.-This dislocation can usually be reduced without difficulty in the following way : An assistant holds the forearm of the patient and pulls gently toward the body, the operator meanwhile grasps the hand and pulls away from the arm, manipulating the dislocated bones at the same time so as to force them into place. A splint should be applied to the hand and forearm for a week or two after the accident, in order to afford time for the healing of the ruptured ligaments. It is sometimes necessary to apply hot fomentations for some days after the injury. But first, if you want to come back to this web site again, just add it to your bookmarks or favorites now!
