As a rule, it is easy to demonstrate abnormalmobility. Crepitation ought to be well marked, and Imust insist on the importance of establishing the presenceor absence of this symptom beyond a doubt; for if crepi-tation is absent, either great overriding of the fragment orinterposition of soft ])arts is to be assumed. Crepitationis established in order to bring the surfaces into the desiredcontact and guarantee union in good position. The short-ening brought about by longitudinal displacement of the. TahjL
