(Farabeuf.) The dressing of dislocations of the phalanges after re-duction consists in the application of splints of wood, ormoulded splints of binders board, or gutta-percha, to fixthe joint, which should be retained for ten days or twoweeks. Dislocations of the Hip.—The head of the femur ismost frequently dislocated backward, downward, or up-ward, although it may assume other positions in excep-tional cases. Posterior or Backward Dislocations of the Head of theFemur.—These are either backward and upward, whenthey are described as iliac or dorsal, the bone resting uponthe dorsum of the ilium (Fig. 328); or the dislocationmay be backward, the head of the bone resting upon theischiatic notch ; these are known as ischiadic dislocations,or dislocations of the femur, dorsal below the tendon(of the obturator internus), according to Bigelow (). 438 DISLOCATIONS.
