The point Fig. 388. Qf xh^ finger could be pressed in between the head and the coracoid process. Slight voluntary rotation and movement of the elbow forward and backward were possible; very slight passive abduction. The left - irniM- elbow could be flexed only to a right angle, further R ^ -^^m^ flexion being arrested by the triceps. On the right ff ^^^^M side the deformity was the same in character, but less in degree, and there was the same limitation ofmotion. If pressure was made upon the elbow di-rectly upward the movement could be distinctly feltto be arrested by bony contact, and this demonstrablyoccurred between the head of the humerus and thecl
