These twocases well illustrate the importance of carefully examining all cases of injuryin at least two positions. Crushing of the bones in the neighbourhood ofa joint, sprain, fractures, and many so-called trivial injuries to bones andjoints will be overlooked if the radiographic method is not employed. The examination of the bones and joints in the normal individual iscomparatively easy, in the injured patient it is often a matter of extreme.
