Delbetand Mouquet^ report a good result obtained by two silk ligatures attachedto the coracoid and crossing the clavicle, one directly above the coracoid,the other near its acromial Dressing for supra-acromial dislocation of theclavicle. Subacromial Dislocation. (Luxatio Claviculse Subacromialis.) This dislocation, of which Petit was the first to make mention, is sorare that Polaillon, in 1875, could collect only six recorded cases; thelist has now been increased to eleven, or, adding Newmans, to first four, quoted by Malgaigne,^ are those of Melle, 1765, Fleury,1816, Tournel, 1837, and Baraduc, 1842.
