Fracture of the lower end of the radius with moderate forward displace-ment (ulnar side). deviated much to the radial side. This condition is due tothe fact that the fracture was not as oblique as in the patientnow before us. and that the displacement forward was verymarked. This skiagraph shows the bony changes (Fig Very little study has been given to this fracture, and manymen of large experience have apparently not seen it. Many KADIAL FRACTURE DISPLACED FORWARDS. 145 of the text-books refer to the possibility of the injury, but giveno cases and refer to no specimens. At the meeting of theAmerican Surgical Association a year ago I called attentionto this subject, and in my paper recorded several cases of myown, together with a number collected from surgical that time I also made quite a search in museums for speci-mens of this fracture, and was surprised to find how manythere were, though nearly all of them had no clinical historiesattached to them. They were
