A sufficient explanation of their ex-istence, however, we think, can be found in the fact that they proceedentirely from the trochanteric fragments, whose extensive comminu-tion and great vascularity would naturally lead to such results. Thesame, but in a less degree, has already been noticed as occurring inimpacted fractures at the anatomical neck of the humerus, where cer-tainly such bony abut
