TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL DISLOCATIONS OF THE HEADOF THE FEMUR. In the natural condition of the ilio-femoral articulationa reciprocal harmony of configuration of a most perfectcharacter exists between the head of the femur and thecotyloid cavity. Under ordinary circumstances thesecomponent parts of the joint are maintained in theirnormal relations by the pressure, from without, of the atmo-sphere, by the ligamentous connexions, l>\ the action ofthe muscles, and by the depth of the cotyloid cavitj. From the pathological account heretofore given of theparts implicated in congenital dislocation of the femurupon the ilium, it is evident that the mutual adaptation ofthe various structures of the joint is early disturbed,and that ultimately the alterations become so extensivethat the natural relations cannot be restored.
