W. Gavle Crutffield. On the treatment of fractures with displacement of the cervical vertebrae using skeletal traction (Surg.gyn.obst.)

Abstract

A. proposes for fractures of the cervical vertebrae with displacement of fragments to impose skeletal traction on the cranial bones using a special traction apparatus. With the help of a drill, after an injection of novocaine and a skin incision, a hole is drilled in the skull bone to a depth of 3 mm only to the diploe (the drill is designed so that it does not sink further than 3 mm).
