Abstract
A part of this method was first demonstrated to me by Professor Bardenheuer of Cologne, Germany, in 1910.

These extensions pass each other in a way devised, I believe, by Bardenheuer, and called by him durch greifende zug, or what might be roughly translated as a through and pull. The results demonstrated in the Cologne clinic had led me to adopt his method in certain cases. I have used it for a number of years with results that compare favorably with the operative treatment. Especially have I found it useful preliminary to operations and in cases in which operation was contraindicated. During the last eighteen months I have been using another method
