X-Ray Examination for Wrist Injury

Sy Herman N. Bundesen, M D. WRIST injuries are a frequent aftermath of falls and siwe elderly people are more subject to falls than are younger and mere surefooted in<tividuals accidents to the wrist are a special problem in this are group By far the most common injury to the wrist is a break ar fracture Thus, if von fall and hurt your wrist at all seriously, the chances are all against a mere upram and all for an actual break Many such breaks are overlooked, however, because the bone fragments are not usually thrown out of position If Severe Enough According to Dr. Ilsivid Lloyd Griffiths of England, if a wrist Injury is severe enough to cause a patient to seek the service of a physician, it Is seven* enough to require an X ray examination This X-ray examination should include plates taken from tile side, from the top. and at an angle. Os course injuries to the wrist may lead only to a sprain, that is stretchihg or tearing of ligaments and muscles. A severely sprained wrist is liable to lie painful for a long time, particularly in an elderly person. For this reason, Dr. Griffiths advises that such sprains be treated much in the same way as a fracture, that is with a light plaster cast. Fixing the wrist In

such a cast gives the damaged tissues a chance for repair and may prevent the sprain from becoming chronic, that is. long con tinned. On the other hand, keeping the wrist in the cast too long is Inadvisable since this may cause weakening and wasting of the inns de. As a rule, two to three weeks are long enough. Os course a cast should he well fitting, comfortable, and not too tight Otherwise pressure on the thin skin of an elderly person may lead to development of ulcers or sores There should be no restrictions of the movement of the fingers. Strapping of the wrist with adhesive tape Is not advisable since it may damage the skin without giving as much rest or support as a splint or plaster cast. If the X-ray examination allows that a break in the bones has occurred proper treatment should lie carried out as soon as posible. This means that the broken bones must be put into proper position. liy movement or manipulation while the patient is under ana esthetic. Then the proper type of cast is put on and allowed to remain on until healing Is complete. Wrist Injuries can never be neglected without risk of permanent deformities which will not only be unsightly but which will interfere with use of the hand.

CHAPTER FORTY "OH, STEVE," Leda said, "all this talk. I can’t just let Sherry go out on her own " “Why not? She’a old enough and intelligent and capable." “But I could give her such a wonderful life in New York.” Leda frowned. “She’s decided or a pokey little town in Ohio called Oakridge. The editor of the newspaper there advertised for an assistant And Sherry answered and bo offered her the Job." “Good,” Steve said. "And remember, Leda, I’m going to miss her. too. I love that girl of yours just as much as you do." “Then why won’t you try to atop her?" He shook hls> head. "Oh, Steve," Leda said miserably. "I wouldn’t mind nearly so much if she were going to you." ‘That might have been a solution once, but it’s not any longer.” "Because of Ix’x Morell?" Steve nodded. “Because Sherry loves him. And he's going to marry someone else and live on the farm next to mine. 1 expect that's something else Sherry wants to escape from." He said then, gently, hln eyes on Leda’s face, "Let her go, my dear. You’ll lose her much Jess than If you try to hold her gainst her will.” Leda sighed. After a moment, his glance still on her face. Steve asked, “You’re pleiW’d over your Job In New York. Leda? You’re sure this move' is what you want?” Leda Jooked at him in surprise "Oh. yes, Steve. It’s a wonderful Job.

blankly, as though he had forgotten where he was, what he was doing. He started in pitching fodder again. But Steve had taken only a few steps toward the door when Lex's voice arrested him. He asked, a little note of diffidence in his tone. "She'll be coming out before she leaves, won’t siw ? Well get to see her?" Steve nodded. "Both Leda and Sherry are coming out Saturday. That will be the last we’ll see of them for a while.” "Yes," Lex agreed. "But, at least, we’ll have a chance to tell them goodby.” Steve went on out of the dim, cool barn into the warm sunshine. An unaccustomed feeling of unrest rode him. spoiling ths spring beauty of the day a little, dulling the bright blue sky and the tender green of new leaves. For no logical reason, he walked along an overgrown track that led away from the house and the red bams, around a comer of the wood lot and away across the pasture. The path was a short cut, seldom used now, which led to the little knoll where Tom Kent's house had once stood. Today Steve’s feet followed it for the first time tn months, or maybe years. He did not trouble to fathom the compulsion that was upon him. It was as though he went to a rendezvous. Presently he stood beside the broken red brick chimney that marked the site of Tom’s house. Lex had told him that he meant, in time, to build here. Well, tt was a fine location and the old Hemingway house dbi leave a lot to be desired. Particularly for a city girl like Kay. Steve wondered how that marriage would turn out He had met Kay the previous weekend for the first time. She had stayed at Ridge Farm and she had been pleasant and charming, both to Steve and Aunt Pen. And she was certainly beautiful. It was easy enough to understand how Lex had fallen in love with her. Steve hoped they would be happy. He knew he was unjustified In suspecting a quality of insincerity underneath Kay’s apparent acceptance of Lex’s determination to farm. She had gone with him to see the Hemingway house, had tramped across the fields and pastureland that were now his and from which he intended to wrest a living. She had come In, gay and rosy, making little of the snags <n her sheer stockings, the ruined h’cla of her impractical pumps. She had listened and agreed enthusiastically to all Lex’s plans for th’Jr future. But Steve had felt, unreasonably perhaps, that here was d-,clever. determined girl, biding her t?<ne, giving Up sendee to Lex's drearj* and desires, but true in her heart to a totally different plan for together

Weil, time would tell whether ne was right in his distrust. He hoped ths future would prove him wrong, for Lex's sake. He liad grown very fond of the boy. Steve’s thoughts switched back to Sherry then. He loved her as though she were his own. Loneliness welled up in him at the realization of how ho was going to mins her. But he was glad she had broken free at last from Leda’s silken domination. Sherry might have pursued pleasure and forgetfulness in the same mistaken way Vai had done, if Leda had prevailed on her to go to New York. Too much time on her hands— and always the aching hunger for I>*x that Steve knew she carried in her heart. Such a combination could lead to disaster. Maybe, far away, meeting new people, surrounded by new scenes, occupied with work that Interested her. Sherry could make a new life for herself. Maybe she’d meet someone she could love —not as much as she loved Lex, perhaps, but enough to blur the image of him in her heart. Steve hoped things would work out like that for Sherry. She deserved happiness. Only, unfortunately, happiness didn’t always seem to come to those who deserved it. Another thought brushed against the edge of Steve’s mind. And he grinned a little, crookedly. There was still another reason why he hoped Sherry would find a new love. Someday she would be coming back to this farm to claim her Inheritance and It would lie better all around if she were married. Steve had not told anyone that Ridga Farm was going to Sherry when he died. But his will had been made for some time and he had no Intention of changing It. He hoped that Sherry would marry and bear children to live In this big house that was now his and had been his father’s and his grandfather's before him. Even though no blood of his flowed through her veins, there would be a sort of continuity in her inheriting these acres. Because she was the daughter of the only woman he had ever loved and of ills best friend. Somewhere near at hand a meadow lark buret into song. Steve took his pipe out of his pocket, filled it and tamped It down with a practiced finger. As he lit It. the realisation came to him that he felt the better for these few minutes of self-commun-ion. of quiet and uninterrupted thinking. And the sun was bright again and the sky a clear and limpid blue. No longer was the day marred by his own unrest and uncertainty. He could not have said why he felt happier, but he did.
