Thelatissimus dorsi is also slightly stretched or entirely unchanged,while the pectoralis major is much relaxed, and would be stillmore so, were it not for the tumor formed beneath its bellyby the head of the bone. The chief obstacles to the reductionare the contractions of the supra- and infra-spinatus with thedeltoid, and the force must, therefore, be applied in sucha manner as to overcome these muscles, in order to accomplishthe reduction. In the dislocation backward, the supra-spinatus, the subscapu-lars, and the teres major muscles, with the pectoralis major, willbe stretched and the deltoid and infra-spinatus relaxed. Whatever aids, then, in inducing muscular relaxation, must facil-itate the replacing of the head of the bone in its true position;and there is no better method of inducing this muscular relaxa-tion than by means of anaesthesia as produced by ether, or ether DISLOCATIONS OF THE 264. 273.
