In two of these cases the resultwas so serious as to require amputation (Case 4) and resection(Case 3). In the majority of cases a careful and thoroughreduction can be obtained only by use of an anaesthetic. Inthis series only three cases were reduced without ether (Cases3, 7, 13). The more serious cases with marked deformity maybe attended with considerable difficulty in reduction and sub-sequent treatment. Under full anaesthesia the deformity, if alateral one only, can be corrected by traction of the lower le
