Abstract: Such dangers are those which attend wounds of joints; namely, traumatic synovitis with its sequelze; viz., suppuration in the synovial membrane, ending probably in more or less loss of mobility, perhaps incomplete ankylosis, possibly in pyoemia and death.When, however, the two operations are compared, it must be remem- bered that such results are not altogether incompatible with the subcu- taneous method.To form a judgment as to the relative value of these procedures, it is desirable to have a wide overlook on results which have been hitherto attained.Up to a certain point, great facilities are offered me; for I am in a position to quote two sets of tables ; the first that of M. Hippolyte Larrey, the second that of Dr. Benndorff.*
