A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . tions are those in which theilio-femoral ligament has suffered complete disruption. In reducing either ofthe regular dislocations the limb must be flexed, in order to relax the ilio-femoral ligament; but if other portions of the capsule are not sufficiently tornto admit the return of the head within its socket, it must be torn by circumduc-tion of the limb. After flexion, and perhaps circumduction, the reduction maybe completed by rotation, or by extension of the thigh at right angles with theanterior surface of the body. The dorsal dislocat
A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . tions are those in which theilio-femoral ligament has suffered complete disruption. In reducing either ofthe regular dislocations the limb must be flexed, in order to relax the ilio-femoral ligament; but if other portions of the capsule are not sufficiently tornto admit the return of the head within its socket, it must be torn by circumduc-tion of the limb. After flexion, and perhaps circumduction, the reduction maybe completed by rotation, or by extension of the thigh at right angles with theanterior surface of the body. The dorsal dislocation owes its inversion to theexternal fasciculus of the ilio-femoral ligament. In the ischiatic dislocation,dorsal below the tondon (Bigelow), the head is arrested, in extension, by thetendon of the obturator and the subjacent capsule. The flexion and eversionof the limb in the thyroid dislodation are due to the ilio-femoral ligament. Inthe pubic dislocation the ascent of the limb is finally arrested by the ilio-femoralligament.
