Extraction of a Bone Pin from a Jaw in Early Surgery
A detailed account from New Haven describes a long and arduous surgical effort to remove a deeply fixed pin from the lower jaw. After multiple approaches and tools broke, the physician arranged a bench and vice, achieving success on May 16 with the thread of the pin extracted, though the bone remains intact with partial freedom of movement. The narrative also covers post operative recovery, prospects for full healing, and related discussions on Harvard College and the University at Cambridge funding.
