The patient lies at the edge of the table, partially turned onhis healthy side, and with the upper part of his body raised. The 202. more lie isbrought into the sittingposture, theeasier is itfor the opera-tor, but moredangerous for the chloro-form - narcosis(page 112). 2. A squareflap Avith roun-ded corners isformed on theouter side ofthe shoulder,the base ofwhich extendsfrom the co-racoid processto the junctionof the acro-mion with thespine of thescapula, andwhose lowermargin runsover the in-sertion of thedeltoid (). 3. Withsweeping stro-kes of theknife, the del-toid flap israised as far 205 as the acromion and turned back, so that the capsule of the shoulderjoint is exposed. 4. The head of the humerus is pushed upwards; and an incision,macle with some force above the two tuberosities, divides the capsuleand tendons in front of the joint. 5. The head of the humerus is now tilted forwards, while theknife, placed behind it, divides the capsule on the inner side of the joint. 6. The operator draws the head of the humerus forwards with
