Excerpt from Gaillard's Medical Journal, Vol. 69: July, 1898 Professor of Anatomy, University College of Medicine, and Surgeon to Virginia Hospital, Richmond, Va. I crave your indulgence while I attempt, in as few words as possible, to explain to you an appliance which I hope you will find an improve ment upon the present methods of securing position and immobility in a fractured clavicle. Every intelligent doctor is aware that the indications in the treat ment of this fracture, on account of the position and attachments of the bone, are to draw the distal fragments upward, backward and outward, through the medium of its connection to the shoulder. To accomplish this, Sayre's method is the best now in use. In this method, the adhesive strip, which passes from the arm of the injured side horizontally around the chest, admirably performs its func tion and rarely slips much.
