    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Hammer, 3 Nails Mend Fracture.; Hammer, 3 Nails Mend Fracture. By Associated Press. SEATTLE, July 28.‚ÄîA surgeon who used a hammer and nails to mend hip joint fractures described his method today. He is Dr. Austin T. Moore of Columbia, S. C, here to address the convention of the Western Orthopedic association. Dr. Moore made small claims for his treatment, insisting it still was experimental. It is described roughly as a fixation with adjustable stainless steel nails. Three long slender nails are driven at angles to one another to hold the bone together at the fracture. Points Out Advantages. Advantages of this treatment, he explained, are that no cast is required, only a local anaesthetic is used, and the nails may be left in the bone after the fracture has knitted. A hip joint fracture, which leaves the head broken off in the socket, is one of the worst fractures known and until recently it was considered impossible to repair, he said. Most victims are elderly persons. Dr. Smith-Petersen of Boston, he said, uses a larger three-flange nail driven at the point of fracture. This treatment was devised by Dr. John Murphy of Chicago, who used a screw.]]></dcterms:description>
