io Mr. orred’s Account of, 8cc. 
callus being much fmaller than the lower part of the 
humerus, and bending with the weight of the arm. How- 
ever, he could raife it from his body more than could be 
well fuppofed, and had the perfect flexure and ufe of 
his fore arm. This cafe, with all the difagreeable cir- 
cumftances attending it, ftrongly proves the utility of 
the above operation. By a fimilar operation difeafes of 
other joints may be as ealily cured. 
About five years ago, a young man of the name of 
moores, about fixteen years of age, and fon to a farmer 
at Alderfey, a village in this neighbourhood, applied to 
me with a difeale in the lower part of the ulna , where it 
joins the bones of the carpus. A variety of means for 
feveral years had been tried to no purpofe, to relieve him 
before he came to me. The patient was of a good habit 
of body, and feemed to enjoy tolerable good health. With 
his confent I carefully feparated from the adjoining 
parts, and fawed off, more than three inches of the en- 
larged bone. A callus at a proper time formed in the 
intermediate fpace. He is now able to undergo the moft 
laborious parts of hufbandry bufinefs; though that part 
of the fore arm where the operation was performed is 
flill fomething fmaller than the fame part in the other 
arm.
