Modern surgery, general and operative . show shorten-ing; there is no alteration of the normalrelation between the olecranon processand the condyles; and the projection infront of the joint is above the crease ofthe bend of the elbow. Treatment of Backward dislocation of both bones of the forearm, because it will soon become im-possible, and an unreduced dislocation means a limb without the powers offlexion, pronation, and supination. The surgeon may place his knee in frontof the elbow-joint, grasp the patients wrist, press upon the radius and ulnawith his knee, and bend the forearm with considerable force, the musclepulling the bones into place (Sir Astley Coopers plan). Forced flexion,traction, and extension may be tried (Fig. 407). Put the arm in Joness posi-tion for two weeks, and make passive motion daily after the first few days. Dislocation of Both Bones Forward.—The cause of forward dislocationof both bones of the forearm is a blow on the olecranon when the arm is is an unusual Fig. 407.—Reduction of elbow-joint disloca-tion. -Reduction must be effected early Dislocation of the Radius Forward 671 Symptoms and Treatment.—The symptoms of forward dislocation of bothbones of the forearm are: the forearm is flexed and lengthened; some slightmotion is possible; the olecranon is on a level with the condyles if unfractured,hence its prominence is gone; the humeral condyles are felt posteriorly, andthe radius and ulna are felt anteriorly. The treatment of this injur\- consistsin early reduction, which is accomplished by means of forced flexion, exten-sion, and pressure, placing the part in Joness position for two weeks, andmaking passive motion daily after the first few days. Lateral dislocation of both bones of the forearm is usually incomplete. Symptoms and Treatment of Outward Dislocation.—The symptoms ofoutward dislocation of both bones of the forearm are: the forearm is flexed,fixed, and pronated; the joint is widened
