MODERN SURGERY.

TREATMENT OF FRACTURES. RICHMOND (Virginia), March 12. Dr. Walter Stuck and Dr. Charles Venable told the south-eastern Surgic'al Congress to-day that, by the use of modern techniques, there was little reason for persons to emerge from hospital with a bad limp or inability to use a hand or arm normally. Modern surgery could offer almost com* plete elimination of deformities resulting from broken bones. forecasting new methods in military surgery dealing with compound fractures, as well as in accidents in civil life, they declared that by the use of a new metal, vitallium, for splinting and the nailing of bones, together with the sprinkling of open compound wounds with sulfanilmide, complete recovery had been attained in 90 per cent, of cases treated.
