The leg should be brought gently along-side of its fellow, and steadied by an assistant. Measurement FRACTURE OF THE HIP MEASUREMENT 26l should be made from the anterior superior spine of the ilium tothe internal malleolus upon each side (see Fig. 385). If there isshortening upon the injured side, a fracture with some displace-ment is likely to have occurred. A normal difference in thelength of the lower limbs is, however, not unusual. It is, there-fore, necessary to determine the presence of asymmetry if it exists,if any confidence is to be placed in the measurements of the should, therefore, be made of the tibia; upon.
