The question of the extent to which repair is possible or probableafter fracture through the neck is important because of its bearingupon treatment. If reunion is possible an effort to obtain it shouldbe made, in the absence of controlling contraindications; if it is im-possible or even improbable, treatment must be directed to obtainingthe best functional result compatible with such failure. That repair is possible is abundantly proved by specimens, even ifwe disregard those in which any question can be raised as to the charac-ter of the injury or the exact situation of the fracture.
