Modern surgery, general and operative . arly reduction, which is accomplished by means of forced flexion, exten-sion, and pressure, placing the part in Joness position for two weeks, andmaking passive motion daily after the first few days. Lateral dislocation of both bones of the forearm is usually incomplete. Symptoms and Treatment of Outward Dislocation.—The symptoms ofoutward dislocation of both bones of the forearm are: the forearm is flexed,fixed, and pronated; the joint is widened; the head of the radius projects ex-ternally and has a depression above it; the inner condyle projects internallyand has a depression below it; the olecranon is nearer than normal to theexternal condyle and further than normal from the internal condyle. Reduc-tion is effected by extension of the forearm and pressure inward upon thehead of the radius. Apply an ascending spiral reversed bandage of the fore-arm, a figure-of-S bandage of the elbow-joint, and a sling. Make passivemotion after a few days. The bandages must be worn for two Fig. 40S.—Forward dislocation of the radius. Symptoms and Treatment of Inward Dislocation.—In dislocation inwardof both bones of the forearm the position of the forearm is the same as thatin dislocation outward; the sigmoid ca\ity of the ulna projects internally, andthe external condyle projects externally. Reduction is effected by extensionof the forearm and pressure outward on the ulna, subsequent treatmentbeing the same as that employed in the preceding form. Dislocation of the ulna alone is very rare, and can take place only back-ward. Symptams and Treatment.—Dislocation of the ulna alone is indicatedby the forearm being flexed and pronated. The head of the radius is foundin place, and the olecranon projects posteriorly. The treatment of this injur\is the same as that for dislocation of both bones. Dislocation of the radius forward (Fig. 40S) is the commonest form ofdislocation of the elbow. This injury- is caused by a faU upon the han
