The con-clusions reached were: i. That abduction nearlyalways preceded flexion, or wasattended by it, in the first stage. 2. Abduction and outwardrotation, are always present in thesecond stage. Flexion was nearly ways present, but was absent ina few cases. 3. When the limb flexedbeyond forty degrees, and fre-quently at a much lesser degree(twenty degrees), it quite rapidlypassed to the deformity of abduc-tion, inward rotation, and flexion,whether the capsule contained fluidor not. (The degrees alluded toare from a horizontal plane.) 4. A few cases exaggerated thedeformity to the second stage for. the third. In other cases there was outward rotation, abduction, shortening, with butslight flexion in the third stage. (See Fig. 4.) In another case observed by Dr. Plymptom, abduction and inward rotation, withoutflexion, occurred with three-fourths of an inch shortening. (See Fig. 5.) 5. That there was always spasm and contraction of muscles about the joint, andin nearly every case all the various groups were in a state of spasmodic shortening annulled or modified the action of the abductor group. These observations, together with dissections which Dr. Greenway and I made,presented numerous problems which will be considered later. At the University dissect-ing-room, we made a series of dissections, from which I think a fair explanation can begiven of every deformity which mav occur in any case of hip disease.
