Fractures.

Recent studies on the epidemiology and repair of fractures are reviewed. The type and severity of the fracture bears a relation to the age, sex and occupation of the patient. Bone tissue after fracture shows a process of inflammation and repair common to all members of the connective tissue family, but it repairs with specific tissue. Cartilage forms when the oxygen supply is outgrown. After a fracture, the vascular bed enlarges. The major blood supply to healing tissue is from medullary vessels and destruction of them will cause necrosis of the inner two-thirds of the cortex. Callus rapidly mineralizes, but full mineralization is achieved slowly; increased mineral metabolism lasts several years after fracture.

The Velpeau bandage.

Many varieties of swaddling bandages for injuries of the shoulder are in use and are called Velpeau bandages. Velpeau's original description has been consulted. The injured arm is placed across the chest and turns of bandage are made from beneath the sound axilla, over the injured shoulder, in front of the injured arm, and beneath the elbow, to pass again to the sound axilla. It is completed by transverse turns. Velpeau, a blacksmith's son, was born in 1795, became professor of surgery in Paris, and died in 1867 after a distinguished career.
