Dislocations of the Hip.—The head of the femur ismost frequently dislocated backward, downward, or up-ward, although it may assume other positions in excep-tional cases. Posterior or Backward Dislocations of the Head of theFemur.—These are either backward and upward, whenthey are described as iliac or dorsal, the bone resting uponthe dorsum of the ilium (Fig. 328); or the dislocationmay be backward, the head of the bone resting upon theischiatic notch ; these are known as ischiadic dislocations,or dislocations of the femur, dorsal below

The reduction of the posterior dislocations of the femurcan generally be effected by manipulation. The patientbeing anaesthetized and placed upon his back, the surgeongrasps the leg at the ankle and knee, flexes the leg uponthe thigh, and the thigh upon the pelvis in the position ofadduction; he then abducts the limb and rotates it out- Fig. 328.
