Excerpt from The Dublin Journal of Medical Science, Vol. 76: July to December, 1883
Dislocations at the elbow-joint are generally reduced without much difficulty, but the operator occasionally encounters an amount of resistance which demands the application of the pulleys or the , aid of assistants. In other instances, in which a complicating
fracture is suspected or recognised, considerable force may be essential to the diagnosis or the treatment, and it is expedient that, while perfectly under control, this power should be applied with great steadiness. Again, in long-standing dislocations, accompanied by extreme rigidity and consequent loss of function, authority, with the object of permitting efficacious treat-. ' ment by passive motion, sometimes sanctions the fracture of the olecranon process. In any of those contingencies the following procedure permits of the necessary treatment in the most satisfactory manner.
The operator sits on the corner of a table, at the end of which the patient is placed upon a chair (Fig. 1).
