...restricted to slim wire to align broken bones in fingers, toes and arms. In such cases, outside splinting is also used and the mended bones are not required to withstand any end-to-end pressure. They call the rod technique "a daring operation" and wonder how their German colleagues insert it without dangerously cutting down blood supply and without introducing infection. Surgeons at the hospital cautiously say they "have no opinion one way or another about this case." But they add that they are not quite satisfied with the way the bone is mending around the metal crutch, possibly because...
...performance lasts some 15 minutes, perhaps half an hour if the noontime gallery is crowded, with Senator Reynolds on his feet several times, as a vigilant guardian of North Carolina's interests, to ask unanimous consent to insert a North Carolina editorial in the Congressional Record.

With the Leishman device, a surgeon can look into a wounded soldier, twiddle some knobs until he sees what he is looking for, insert a slim, sterilized needle straight to an embedded bullet or shell fragment. Later the metal can be removed cleanly without extra probing and blood loss, simply by following the needle. In fracture cases, the surgeon can watch the bones slip into place, make sure they are in perfect position...
