...long bones in the forearm, just at the joint. The bone was in a few pieces (the fracture was "comminuted"), and it broke into the joint (it was "intra-articular") but none of the pieces were too far separated from the others ( it wasn't very "displaced"). The "correct" or generally accepted way to treat a fracture like this has changed quite radically in the course of my career. We hardly ever operated on them when I started in the late '80s; now we operate on them all the time. Mine was now the job of explaining wrist fractures...

His battle with Bordry and the French...
...Olympic village, the Mexican national anthem blared over the loudspeaker. Mexico's lone Winter Olympian, alpine skier Hubertus von Hohenlohe, stood at attention, right arm crossing his chest. That's right - Hubertus von Hohenlohe. If you're thinking that name doesn't sound very Mexican, you'd be absolutely correct. In fact, he's a descendant of German royalty, the son of Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe and Princess Ira Fürstenberg. Can't get more Mexican than that...
