The limb should be seized inthe usual manner, at the knee and ankle, carried up toward the face,abducted, then rotated inward, gently adducted, and finally broughtdown again to the bed. At the moment when the rotation and adduc-tion commence, the head of the bone should be pressed toward the socketby the hands, and, if necessary, lifted a little over the margin of the ace-tabulum, by moderate extension at a right angle with the body.

Bigelow, who regards as irregular only those dislocations which areaccompanied with a complete rupture of the ilio-femoral ligament, but Fig. Anterior oblique dislocation. (From Bigelow.) whose classification in that regard I am not fully prepared to adopt, has,nevertheless, given us the most intelligible and most probable explana-tion of the mechanism of these irregular upward dislocations, and ofseveral other forms of irregular dislocations.
