Dislocation of the Inferior Angle of the Scapula.—Thedisplacement of the inferior angle of the scapula fromunder the latissimus dorsi muscle is due to relaxationof this muscle and of the serratus magnus, and is some-times described as a dislocation of the inferior angle ofthe scapula. The reduction of this deformity consists inthe employment of manipulation and pressure to over-come the displacement, and the use of a compress heldin place by broad strips of adhesive plaster to secure thebone in its proper position. DISLOCATIONS OF THE SHOULDER 419 Dislocations of the Shoulder.—The head of thehumerus niav be dislocated downward, forward, or bach-ward. Subglenoid Dislocation of the Head of the Humerus.—In this varietv of dislocation the head of the hone rests in the axilla (Fig. 309). Fig. Subglenoid dislocation of the head of the humerus. (Stdbson.) Subcoracoid Dislocation of the Head of the Humerus.—Tn this varietv of dislocation the head of the humerusrests beneath the coracoid process of the scapula (). Subclavicular Dislocation of the Head of the Humerus.—This may be considered an aggravated form of the lattervariety of dislocation ; the head of the humerus in thisdislocation rests beneath the clavicle. 420 DISLOCATIONS. Subspinous Dislocation of the Head of the Humerus.—Inthis variety of dislocation the head of the humerus restsbeneath the spine of the scapula (Fig. 311). Reduction of dislocations of the humerus is effected bymanipulation, by extension and counter-extension, and bya combination of th
