The same surgeon has published a case of fracture of the shaft ofthe ulna, with dislocation of the head of the radius.

Congenital dislocation of the hip can be well shown in children, and Mr. Robert Jones, of Liverpool, has exhibited aninteresting series of skiagraphs showing the relative positions ofthe head of the femur to the acetabulum before, during, and aftertreatment by the bloodless method of Lorenz. * Quarterly Medical Journal, August 1900, p. 405. 236 THE RONTGEN RA YS IN MEDICAL WORK Sometimes a suspected congenital double dislocation may bereally due to a rickety bending of the angles of the thigh-bones.
