Atlas and epitome of traumatic fractures and dislocations . Fig. 145.—Skiagraph of a su-pramalleolar spiral fracture ofthe tibia. There is also a frac-ture of the fibula at its upper ex-tremity. Frd. Helm, fifty-twoyears of age, 1897. When thepatient was admitted, three weeksafter the injury, the deformityhere depicted was found at theseat of fracture, with marked in-version of the foot. The positionof the fragments was corrected aswell as possible ; later the pro-jecting point of the bone was re-moved with a chisel. The frac-ture healed slowly with good ul-timate position of the limb. 319 320

Fractures of the Lower End of the Leg.—Fig. 1.—Torsion-fracture of the lower end of the tibia with typical bending fracture ofthe fibula. The specimen was taken from a patient who had sus-tained a compression-fracture of the same tibia (Plate 63, Figs. 3 a and3 &). The torsion-fracture extends into the astragalo-crural articula-tion. Fig. 2.—Torsion-fracture of the lower half of the tibia, fibula in-tact.
