. A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations. nder or anterior surface of the otherand has at the same time changed its direction somewhat by the sink-ing of its acromial end. The shortening may be very notable, nearlyone-third of the entire length of the bone in a specimen mentioned byMalgaigne. Another form is found where the line of fracture is suchthat the fragments do not readily leave each other, and the brokenends are displaced together upward and backward by the falling inof the shoulders so that the bone forms an angle at the seat of some exceptional cases the outer fragment has lain upon the upperor posterior surface of the inner fragment. Malgaigne1 says thisvariety was mentioned by Hippocrates, and that he himself saw one,but only one, example of it. Under these circumstances the sternalfragment is held down instead of being pushed up by the other one,and the displacement is mainly in the direction of the latter, the innerend of which is turned upward, forming a projection at the seat of fracture.
