A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . ccident the knee continued somewhatstiff, and there was an unnatural lateral motion in thejoint, from the injury which the ligaments had patient referred to by Bransby Cooper had met withthe accident by a fall upon the foot, with his leg bentunder him ; and a fellow-workman had reduced the boneby extension and pressure. Mr. Cooper thinks that notonly the internal lateral ligament was torn, but also somefibres of the vastus externus and the crucial inflammation ensued, which did not permit himto leave the hospital until after about two weeks. Fer-gusson has seen two examples of unreduced subluxationinward, in both of which the patients had regained Malgaigne mentions that Boyer, Costallat, and Key hadeach seen one similar example; and he also enumerates two additional cases of complete dislocation attended with a protrusion of the bone through an external wound; in both of which the reduction was easily effected and the patients Subluxation of thehead of the tibia in-ward. § 5. Dislocations of the Head of the Tibia Backward and Outward. In June, 1853, Henry J., of Dansville, N. Y., eet. 24, was thrown by an enragedbull, and his left leg, being caught under the knee by the horns, was twistedviolently. Drs. Pryor, of Dansville, and Batton, of Burns, were called, andfound the left knee completely dislocated; the tibia being displaced backwardbeyond the condyles of the femur, and also a little outward. The foot and legwere inclined outward. With the assistance of four men, extension and counter-extension were made in the line of the axis of the limb, and the reduction waseasily accomplished. Pasteboard splints, bandages, etc., were applied to main-tain the bones in place; but the swelling came on rapidly, and in the eveningthese dressings were removed. The limb was now laid over a double inclinedplane carefully padded, in order to press the upper end of the ti
