In the literature to our hand we have only been successful in discovering one reported instance, and, strange to say, in this, a well-marked case, the cause was altogether obscure. We quote the case at the end of this Fig. 165.—Diagram showing the Course taken by the Needle WHEN SbTONING THE FkOG. This is shown by the dotted curved line a, h. 1, The navicular bone ; 2, the plantar cushion ; 3, the os pedis ; 4, the perforans tendon. A partial dislocation of this articulation is the condition met with in ' Buttress Foot.' In this case the fracture of the pyramidal process, and the consequent lengthening of the tendon of the extensor pedis, allows the os coronte to occupy upon the articulatory surface of the os pedis a more backward position than normally it should. It is quite probable, too, that slight lesions of the other restraining ligaments and tendons of the articulation may.
