. Fracture of the styloid process of the ulna is sometimes observed sepa-rately as the result of direct violence. In addition to the usual symp-toms of pain and swelling, mobility of the process could probably berecognized by direct manipulation or by abduction of the hand. Dr.Agnew says some deformity is likely to remain, and that in the onlycase he had seen the union was fibrous. He advises treatment upon ananterior splint with the hand inclined toward the ulnar side and indorsal flexion, so as to relax the extensor carpi ulnaris. Fracture of both bones near the wrist is occasionally seen. The diag-nosis is made by recognition of the abnormal mobility of the fragments.Treatment as in Colless fracture. In compound fractures every effort should be made to avoid ampu-tation. Good results have been obtained even by excision of the lowerend of the ulna alone or of both bones. 1 E. W.
