OSTEOM\EI-ITIS OF THE LOWER END OF THE HUMERUS. At the lower end ot the Inimerus, a short distance above the epiphysealline, can be seen a light shadow, due to softening of the bone marrowand to a suppurative osteitis. The medullary cavity is enlarged, because of the destruction and lossof substance of the cancellous tissue of the bone, caused by the ostconiyc-litic process. The light affected area is circumscribed by a dark zone of bone sclerosis. The periosteum is swollen and PLATE XV. ■ 56- PLATE XVI. \-EUTIS OF THF, RADIUS—PRESENCE OF SEQUESTRUM. The periosteum is swollen and ccdematous around the afifected areaof the radius. The hone is swollen, and a dark and dense area of hone sclerosis cir-cumscribes the lighter area of bone and marrow suppuration. Within this light area is seen a small sequestrum, the result of bonenecrosis.
