If even under anesthesia tlie attempt does notprove successful, and the dislocations cannot be reducedeven with assistance, surgical interference must beresorted to in order to restore the normal relations ofthe parts as early as possible. The operation is readilyperformed through an incision from the coracoid processdownward. [The usual mistake made in the attempt at reduction of J ( ^
