As the spasm decreases, the pulley and the inclined plane are gradually lowered, until finally the extension is made horizontally and the deformity is overcome. limb is in the position of deformity. Thus, it is curved forward in the loin to correspond to the amount of lordosis; below this comes the concavity for the buttock, and then it is bent forward again to correspond to the flexion of the leg. The result is that by no possibility can the flexion be overcome, as the apparatus fixes the limb in the faulty position. If a good result is to be obtained, it is absolutely essential to overcome the flexion, and, when a Thomas's splint alone is employed, this must be applied as he himself recommended; namely, in the form of a straight bar simply curved where it lies over the buttock, the other parts of the apparatus being absolutely vertical. When the flexion is extreme, some extension must be made before applying Thomas's splint; this, however, must never be applied in the horizontal direction to a flexed limb as it would cause great pain, and might considerably increase the muscular spasm. It is quite easy to make extension in the direction that the limb has already assumed. When the flexion is considerable, the pulley over which extension is being made must be raised sufficiently for the cord passing from the limb to the Fig. 40.--A Doubi.e Thomas's Si-lint For Hit Disease. The splint, which is made of malleable iron thickly padded with leather, is shown applied in the following Figure. The leg-pieces diverge, so as to abduct the lower extremities. pulley, to run very much in the direction of the limb it...
