A treatise on orthopedic surgery . Illustrating the range of normal abduction of the thighs, from the attitude ofright angular flexion. Fig. The bandage applied after the reduction of bilateral dislocation, showing afavorite method of progression on a chair. is held in its original position the contraction of the tissues thatresist adduction is overcome and the limb is rotated inwarduntil the patella points directly forward, a plaster bandage is then CONGENITAL DISLOCATION OF HIP AND COXA VABA. 561 applied to fix the limb in extension and in from 15 to 45° of abduc-tion according to the stability of the reposition. This bandage isoften extended to the ankle in order to fix the limb in slightinward rotation by accurate adjustment about the knee. Inthis position the head of the femur is placed as well as may bewithin the acetabulum and the weight of the body in standingand walking is brought more directly into use in functionalreconstruction.
