A treatise on dislocations and on fractures of the joints . llow of the head of thebone I. Head of the bone, hanging in the acetabulum by theligamentum teres only, smoothed by one bone rubbingagainst the other: a portion of its surface having liga-ment secreted upon it K. The capsular ligament exceedingly thickened; more espe-cially on that part of the joint which is opposite to theforamen ovale. Fig. 2. ^ A. Ilium B. Pubes C. Ischium D. Foramen ovale E. Os femoris F. Broken cervix femoris, in a great degree absorbed G. The head of the bone, supported by the ligamentum teres, and having no other connection with the body: its sur-face smoothed by friction when the person begins towalk. In each of these preparations the head and neck of the bone,conjointly, would not form more than one third the naturallength of those parts* Fig. neck of the bone broken in a dog, and no union isproduced but by ligament.

Capsular ligament excessively thickened F. Ligamentous productions uniting the neck to the head of the bone G. A fork formed in the trochanter minor, which received the head of the bone, and prevented its further descent. Fig, a preparation of Mr. Langstaffs.
