Berger has gathered six examples of ancient complete dislocations outward,which have been examined anatomically, namely, two by Verneuil, two byTainturier, and two by Philipeaux and Fuhrer. In each of these examples thepatella rested upon the tuberosity of the external condyle, which in two cases, ofPhilipeaux and Tainturier, had become articular, flattened, and covered bynewly formed cartilage of considerable thickness. The patella was thi
