2-11. MANIPULATION PROCEDURES
a. Discussion. Manipulative procedures are those in which a condition is corrected by handling and maneuvering the disordered part. Terms used to indicate such procedures are as follows:
(1) Dilatation--the enlargement of a part by the use of an instrument.
(2) Closed reduction--the alignment of a fractured bone without making an incision.
