. Atlas and epitome of traumatic . iphyseal separations, in youthful individuals. (c) Oblique fractures and T-fractures of the condyles. (d) Partial (split) fractures at the articular number of fractures occurring at the lower end of the femur is much smaller than that of fractures observedin the shaft itself. (a) Supracondylar Fracture of the Femur (Fradurasupracondylica).—Most of them are transverse fractures,although very acute oblique fractures, and even longitud-inal fractures, due to twisting of the lower portion of theshaft of the femur, have been observed (Plate 56, Fig.

Supracondylar transverse fractures present typical phe-nomena, both as regards the position of the fragments andtheir displacement; the lower fragment, being acted uponby the powerful muscles of the calf, is flexed, and the twofragments override (Plate 58). The pull exerted by themuscles of the thigh produces shortening the degree ofwhich is proportional to the amount of displacement andflexion of the lower fragment.
