Dislocation of the Semilunar Cartilages.—The dis-placement here consists in the slipping forward or back-ward and wedging of the semilunar cartilages between thefemoral condyles and the tibia. Reduction of the displaced cartilages can usually beeffected by hyperflexion of the knee, followed by suddenfull extension, or by alternately flexing and extending thejoint. Excision of the displaced cartilages is sometimesrequired in cases in which they cannot be reduced bymanipulation. The dressing of these cases after reduction of the dis-placed cartilages consists in the application of a posteriorstraight splint or a plaster-of-Paris dressing to fix theknee-joint; the splint should be worn for three orfour weeks, and if there is a tendency to redisplace-ment, the patient
