A large piece of metal on right side of PLATE IX.—Localisation of Foreign Bodies?. a and b, A piece of metal localised in the iipper eml of tibia behind the spine. It was believed, from stereoscopic examination ofthe plates, that the foreign body was not entirely in the .joint, and the operation was arranged to avoid entering it. Accordingly thesurgeon trephined the npper end of the tibia from the internal aspect, and the foreign body was successfully removed. c, Two exposures on one plate. Piece of shrapnel localised 8* cms. from posterior surface of left loin. A lateral plate taken showedthe foreign body just anterior to the front of a lumljai- vertebra. The patient was screened in the X-ray room, and it was observed thatthe piece of metal moved with flexion and extension of the limb; this illustration shows the degree of movement. From this it wasinferred that the foreign body lay in the psoas muscle, and at the operation it was found at the spot localised and removed. Otherplates were taken to localise the depth. d, F
