Bones of the Pelvis.—Fractures in the pelvic bones are quitecommon, and may occur at any age, but are most frequent in adult X-RAY IN FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS 349 life. The clinical diagnosis of fractures of the pelvis are usually notvery difficult, but the exact determination of their location and ex-tent is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Only the x-ray willreveal the conditions existing in fractured pelvic bones. Good skia-graphs of this region in thick subjects are sometimes very difficultto make. Where the injury is on one side, a general exposure shouldbe made on an 11x14 plate to get a correct idea of the Fig. 175.—Fracture of the pubic bone near the symphysis. If the plate fails in any particular to clear up the diagnosis, it will atleast locate the injury, when a second and more localized exposuremay be made through the compression diaphragm. Fig. 175 showsa fracture in the pubic bone on the right side, as indicated by thearrow. By physical methods it was impossible to determine the lo-cation or extent of the injury. There was no displacement of bonetissue, and the patient made an excellent recovery. The author 350 PRACTICAL ELECTRO-THERAPEUTICS AND X-RAY THERAPY has a number of skiagraphs showing fractures in the ilium. Someof them are not very extensive, while others extend through themain body of the bone—sometimes in several directions. There isan occasional separation of the ilium from the sacrum at the sacro-iliac synchondrosis. This may be the only injury present, or theilium may be fractured in one or more direction
