INTO THE FORAMEN THYROIDEUM. 671 fully almost precisely the same method. In one example mentionedby Markoe (Case 7), it is pretty evident that the head of the femurwas thrown into the ischiatic notch, by having flexed the thigh toomuch, so that the knee touched the thorax. Indeed, it is question- Fia:. Reduction of thyroid dislocation by manipulation. (From Bigelow.) able whether it will be best ever to bring the thigh much, if at all,above a right angle with the body, since any further flexion can onlythrow the head below the acetabulum, when in fact it is already toolow. July 21, 1858, Nathaniel Smith, a painter by trade, get. 33, fell fromthe second-story window of the city post-office, Buffalo, upon a stonepavement, striking, as he believes, upon the inside of his right saw him within an hour, and found the right tibia partially dislocatedoutwards, the corresponding patella dislocated completely outwards,and the right femur in the foramen thyroideum. His thigh was forci-bly abducted, slightly rotated outwards, and lengthened, by measure-ment made from the pelvis to the ankle, one inch and a half. Thedistance from the anterior superior spinous process to the fold of thegroin was ten inches, but upon the sound side it was
