The e itrem'e thinness otfthe internal all and its accessibility through lithe nares renders the intranasal route'desirable for surgical operatioin However,

A curved trocar or cannula is unsuitable since direct drivingpres-u sure is necessary and more or less-twisting or boring movement is required to penetrate the antiu n n all. In such method there isino Way jot controlling the extent of the-bone break j age, and the wall may be, fractured or splintered through a greater'areathan intended.

In Fig. '7 there is shown a burr or drillhead of somewhat different shape, particu la-rlya-pplicahle to the drilling ct-curved passages to facilitate the wiring or-interconnection of fractured bones.v Inasmuch-as such points of operation are more readily accessible, there is less dangerof losing the burr in the opening. It is also desirable thatthe a-rcuate stemfi be of smaller diameter than'the burr, in'order that the hurrinay'v clear itself of bone chips. Theburr illustrated is of mushroom shape or eonoidal formwith the base of the conoidal burr head 1 overhanging the'periphery of the stem. Be
