The treatment of fractures . Fig. 569.—Relation of the capsule of theshoulder-joint to the upper epiphyses of thehumerus (diagram)..

Whereas therewill, perhaps, always exist differences in the times of the appear-ance of the ossification centers and the times of union of the 403 4O4 ANATOMICAL FACTS REGARDING THE EPIPHYSES epiphyses, the discrepancies in each observers series of caseswill grow less and less. The importance of an exact knowledge of the epiphyses tothose having to do with injuries in the neighborhood of joints isundoubted. The diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of jointinjuries and injuries in the immediate vicinity of joints is farmore satisfactory than ever before.
