Atlas and epitome of traumatic fractures and dislocations . the shaft, which presentspractically no alteration. The fracture of the radius was a multipleone; in addition the peripheral fragment presents a longitudinal frac-ture which extends obliquely into the joint. The lower articular ex-tremities of both bones exhibit a moderate degree of arthritis defor-mans. Pronation and supination were evidently reduced to a mini-mum. more in detail in connection with typical epiphyseal sepa-ration of the radius. If both bones are broken at thesame level, the dis]ilacement is, as a rule, greater thanwhen the lines of fracture are separated by an interval. Tlie relative position of the lines of fracture is of someimportance for the prognosis, as is also the questionwhether the dislocation lias brought the bones nearertogether and led to extensive laceration of the interosseousligament, for this may be followed by cicatricial contrac-tion and ])artial ossification of the ligament, and, in addi-tion, tlie bones may come into lateral contact with one k
