Flo A to-* fl y iii%A. iil,7 hi fl RESECTION FOR FALSE JOINT IN THE HUMERUS. 653 the head of the bone being luxated, sawed off, and treated as before di-rected. Remarks,—Resection of the head of the humerus is an operation that hasbeen repeatedly performed with success in cases of caries of the head of thebone, as well as of the glenoid cavity, the removal of the latter being readilyaccomplished by the bone-nippers, after the articulation is exposed. As ameans of saving the patient the partial use of an important member, which informer times would have been amputated, this operation must be regardedas one of the most useful of those suggested within the last century. Althoughthe scapula and end of the humerus are no longer in contact after the per-formance of this resection, a considerable amount of motion will yet be pre-served at the shoulder, and in a case reported by Syme the use of the armwas almost completely established. Resection of the head of the humerus has been frequently performed bysurgeons
