I believe the tendency to repeated displacement waslargely due to the fact that the fracture was farther from thewrist than is usual in fracture of the lower end of the a consequence, muscular action had more influence in pro-ducing displacement than is common when the fracture isnearer the joint.

FRACTURE OF THE LOWER OF THE RADIUS WITH DIS-PLACEMENT OF THE LOWER FRAGMENT FORWARDS.* This boy of fourteen years presents himself for treatmentfor pain in the left wrist, which followed shoveling of the hand and wrist shows an unusual deformity,which consists in deviation of the hand to the radial side andthe presence of an elevation on the palmar aspect above thebase of the thumb. The boy says that last August a year,which is now eighteen months ago, he fell from a cherry treeand broke his left wrist. He was brought to town and takento a hospital in the evening of the same day; there he wastreated by manipulatio
