Editor’s Note: “…appears promising” in the original is literally translated as: “can be considered a positive horoscope.”

Editor’s Note: We have inserted references to figures throughout the text. These references were not in the original article; authors during the time of this article frequently appended figures without specifically referring to them in the text.

Editor’s Note: The meaning of “obstruction” in this context is unclear. It may relate to the filling of the medullary cavity with the device. Gluck seems to have induced bone and periosteal nerve death through medullary evacuation and periosteal stripping, which may have accounted for the pain loss observed.

Editor’s Note: Gluck’s meaning is unclear. Bone healing did not appear to be the goal of this procedure, as the structural integrity provided by the glass or ivory nail was sufficient to restore functionality, hence, “…fixation was disregarded.”
