The homeopathic practice of surgery : together with operative surgery . ng, as the parents supposed, failedto properly fix the joint, — though the real fault was infixingit too long.

This mode of displacement, whether outward or inward, is amodification of the last, the bones being also j?ig 33 • driven more or less backwards. The cause is generally the same as inthe last case, the force being directed moreto one or the other side. The symptoms are still better the dislocation is outward and back-ward (as in Fig. 33), the projection of theulna is much greater than when it is onlybackward. The coronoid process, insteadof sinking into the posterior fossa of the hu-merus, is fixed at the external condyle, andthe flat head of the radius forms a projec-tion behind and outside the elbow, with anabrupt cavity above it. Its turning can bedistinctly felt on pronating or supinatingthe hand. In the inward and backward luxation. * See Dislocation in general. 8 (paet n.) 58 DISLOCATIONS — AT THE ELBOW. Fig. 34. (represented by Fig. 34), the head of the ulna is thrown behind orover the internal condyle, and projects in that direction, while theexternal condyle is made equally prominenton its side, by the radius leaving its placeand occupying that of the ulna, its head rest-ing on the articulating surface or posteriorfossa. The reduction of these cases is accom-plished in the same manner as directed forthe simply backward luxation, — to wit: thebending of the arm over the surgeons or no difference of management is re-quired in either case. The operation mayeven be simpler than the one referred is not the same reason for first separ-ating the bones from the humerus, as whenthe coronoid process is fixed in its posteriorfossa.
