The fascia above the trochanter is relaxed(see Fig. 355). This is especially noted in the standing position,with the patient resting the weight upon the well leg. If thefracture is an impacted one, crepitus will be absent upon gentlemanipulation, unless the impaction has been broken up by someunwise means. If the fracture is unimpactcd, crepitus can bedetected by the hand while traction or gentle rotation of the legis made. The foot is everted whether impaction is present ornot. If the impaction is of the anterior portion of the neck,inversion will be present ; if the impaction is of the posteriorportion of the neck, eversion will be present (see Figs. 356, 357).
