Chassaignac. A man fell from the thirdstory of a building. The head of the hu-merus projected directly outward and ex-tended above the coraco-acromial ligament. Movements of the elbow forward were impossible, backward thoy woremore free than normal. The dislocation was easily reduced by exag-gerated elevation of the arm, but recurred when the arm was lowered. Hewett. The patient was a middle-aged woman ; the head of the Fig. Supraglenoid dislocation: Busohs case. ( 654 DISLOCATIONS. humerus lay on the upper and inner side of the glenoid cavity ; therewas distinct crepitus which ceased after reduction had been made bytraction with the heel in the axilla. Apparently the patient made acomplete recovery. Streeter. ^-A man of middle age fell down stairs, striking on hiselbow. The coracoid process was evidently fractured, and the articularhead of the humerus was plainly felt above the clavicle, the patientbeing very thin. At the present time he is making good progresstoward recovery.^ Fracture of the coracoid progress existed in Holmess and Streeterscases, and possibly also in Hewetts and Buschs. Rupture or displacement of the long tendon of the biceps mustoccur, and rupture of the muscles attached to the greater tuberosityis noted by Holmes; it seems not unlikely that the impossibility ofreduction in several of the cases was due to the interpos
