Abstract
1. The simple method presented permits early reduction of infected fractures of the radius and ulna. The same principle is now being employed in elective surgery. 2. The use of screw traction has not necessitated any operative attempt to close the original wound. 3. The skeletal traction is discontinued when roentgenographic evidence of callus is present. No anaesthesia has been required to remove the screws. 4. In a small series of cases, there have been no instances of operative infections or overpull.
