A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . Dislocation of the head of the radius forward ,• limit of flexion at elbow. (Erichsen.) Fig. Dislocation of the head of the radius; deformity of outer side of the arm when extended. (Erichsen.) I have particularly noticed this fact in rny report made to the New York StateMedical Society in 1855; and Denuce, who has also examined these cases care-fully, affirms that it is seldom supinated, notwithstanding the general statementsof surgeons to the contrary. jJM MP The arm is usually a little flexed, and cannot be perfectly extendedwithout causing pain. In some cases, especially when the dislocation hasexisted for a considerable length of time, the arm is capable of extremeand unnatural extension. This was the case with Lydia Merton. Thereis usually preternatural lateral motion ; but, except in old cases, the fore-arm cannot be flexed upon the arm beyond a right angle. Prognosis.—Denuce says : The reduction is often impossible ; morefrequently still, difficult to maintain. In proof of which he refers tothe observations of Danyau and Robert. In the case of recent dislocationrela
