Partial Fracture without immediate and spontaneous restoration ofthe bone to its natural form.—The causes of this accident are the samewith those which produce simple bending, or partial fracture with im-mediate and spontaneous restoration, from which latter they differ prob-ably in the greater extent of the bony lesion. Perhaps, also, they differ 82 BENDING, PARTIAL FRACTURES, AND FISSURES. sometimes in the peculiar form and degree of the denticulation at theseat of the fracture; in consequence of which an antagonism of the fibres Fig. 24.

They constitute a large majority of those ex-amples of partial fracture which come under ourobservation in the various long bones. In onehundred and forty-two fractures of the clavicle, ithas been observed by me twenty times. In twohundred and nine fractures of the radius and ulna,it has occurred twelve times. Similar examples aremet with, but much more rarely in the humerus, ribs, femur, tibia, andfibula. Very few surgeons have spoken of partial fractures in the clavicle,while Jurine, Syme, Liston, Miller, Norris, and many others, havedeclared that it is much more frequent in the bones of the forearmthan elsewhere. This does not agree with my experience, according towhich it occu
