Nerve-Grafting.
—At the meeting of the Clinical Society of London, on January 25, Mr. Mayo Robson showed a girl, æt. 14, on whom he had successfully grafted two inches and a half of the posterior tibial nerve into a corresponding gap in the median nerve in the forearm. He also showed the tumor which had involved the median nerve, and had necessitated its removal. The history of the case, briefly, was that the patient had noticed the tumor growing for six years, but that it had grown more rapidly during the past twelve months, during which time it had caused considerable inconvenience as well as deformity. The tumor, about the size of hen's egg, extended from the annular ligament in front of the right wrist up the forearm for about three inches, reaching laterally from side to side, the skin being firmly stretched over, but not adherent to the tumor,
