A treatise on dislocations and on fractures of the joints . the dislocation of the os humeri forwards,behind the pectoralis major, and under the clavicle.

Scapular end of the clavicle thrown upon the spine of the scapular C. Spine of the scapular D. The glenoid cavity E. Coracoid process F. Head of the os humeri thrown into the axilla G. Head of the os humeri thrown forwards upon the second rib under the clavicle, and upon the inner side of thecoracoid process in the dislocation forwards. Fig. the situation of the head of the os humeri, whendislocated backwards upon the scapulae. A. Dorsum scapulae B. Os humeri C. Head of the os humeri on the dorsum scapulae. Fig. a dislocation of the astragalus outwards. A. Malleolus externus B. Astragalus thrown outwards: the foot resting upon its outer edge. Fig. 6. A. Ulna thrown back B. Radius thrown with the ulna C. Hollow above the aniiin, /?,?. PLATb; XXX. Fig. the mode which I ahnost constantly pursue of re-ducing recent dislocations of the os humeri, by placing theheel in the axilla, and by extending the arm either from abovethe elbow or from the wrist. Fig. of reduction by the pulley; shewing the manner inwhich the scapula is fixed by a bandage which receives thearm, and the pullies applied above the elbow ; as well as thedirection in which extension is to be made in dislocation inthe axilla. If the dislocation be forwards under the clavicle,the arm must be somewhat lowered to avoid the coracoidprocess. Fig. the mode of reducing the dislocation downwards, bythe knee in the axilla.
