Fig. The deformity of obstetrical paralysis in adolescence. In the very resistant cases it is impracticable to complete theoperation at one sitting. When, therefore, as much force hasbeen exercised as seems wise, a plaster bandage is applied tohold the arm in an intermediate position with the head of thefemur forced forward, and after an interval of two or moreweeks the further correction is undertaken. In the treatment ofolder subjects the forcible manipulation may be preceded or DEFORMITIES OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY. 503 supplemented by division of resistant parts. This, however, isnot usually necessary. As has been stated when the head of the bone is forced for-ward a distinct depression and evident relaxation of the tissuesis noted on the posterior aspect of the joint. The object of thefixation is to allow the contraction of the posterior wall of thecapsule and the obliteration of the old articulation, consequently,the part must be fixed for a period of at least three the plas
