extracted text (Extract Text): PLEXIGLAS CUPS, formed of the same
material that is employed to make
bomber noses and gun turrets, are being
used to restore painless motion in ar-
thritic joints. Besides affording a smooth
surface against which the other bones
of the joint can move, the transparent
plastic cups facilitate subsequent X-ray
examination of the bone head from
which excess growth—the cause of ar-
thritic pain—has been removed. The
cups, successfully used in finger, jaw,
and hip joints, were developed by Dr.
Paul H. Harmon, surgeon at the Robert
Packer Hospital, Sayre, Pa.
