The reduction of this displacement is effected in the samemanner as that of both bones of the forearm backward,and the dressing after reduction is similar to that employedwhen both bones have been displaced. Dislocations of the Wrist.—Dislocations of the carpusfrom the bones of the forearm may be forward (Fig. 322)or backward (Fig. 323). The reduction in either variety Fig. Dislocation of the carpus forward. (Hamilton.)Fig. 323.
