. A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations. Fracture of the neck of the femur inabduction. (Kocher.) Fracture of the neck of the femur in adduction(Kocher.) another.

The angular displacement of the neck and the form of the fractureappear to be connected with the mode of production of the fractureand the attitude of the limb at the moment of fracture ; thus, if thelimb is extended and rotated outward or abducted the anterior por-tion of the capsule is tense and the posterior portion of the neck isdriven into the trochanter (Fig. 189); if the limb is strongly adductedthe deep penetration is found especially at the inferior portion of theneck (Fig. 190).
