A fork formed in the trochanter minor, which received the head of the bone, and prevented its further descent. Fig, a preparation of Mr. Langstaffs. The upper part ofthe thigh-bone broken within the capsule and external to external to the capsule firmly united by bone, and thatwithin it ununited. A. Head of the thigh-bone B. Trochanter major C. Trochanter minor D. Shaft of the bone E. Ligamentum teres, in its usual situation as regards the head of the bone, and, as will be seen, not at its centre. F. Fracture of the thigh-bone external to the capsule, firmly and well united by bone G. Fractured cervix within the capsule, still remaining un- united, even by ligament. J^ir/ 2. S:S7i^^l>\ CJ^ PLATE Xn. Contains views of the altered state of the neck of thethigh-bone, by which it is rendered incapable of supporting-the superincumbent weight of the body, gradually becomingabsorbed, and the head of the bone descends to the trochanterminor. Fig- 1-Is a diagram of the upper part of the thigh-bone, to shew the change in figure it undergoes from a softened and absorbed state of its cervix. A. Natural position of the head of the bone B. Head of the bone fallen to the trochanter minor C. Shaft of the thigh-bone. Fig. of the thigh-bone fallen; neck of the bone absorbedand shortened, so that the head and trochanter are broughttogether. A. Head of the bone B. Trochanter major C. Shaft of the bone D. Ligament attached to the remains of the cervix. Fig. in a section the internal view of fig. 2.
