Generally it is such that, when thepatient is standing, the end of thegreat toe of the dislocated limbtouches the ball of the great toe ofthe sound limb. Bigelow observes that the extremeflexion which is sometimes found toexist, especially when the patient isin the recumbent position, is gener-ally due to the arrest of the head ofthe femur by the internal obturatorand the subjacent untorn the patient rises, the weight ofthe limb may force the head up be-hind the tendon of the obturator; orif the limb
