Fractures of the Nasal Bones.—These are occasionally fractured on one or both sides. A plate on the injured side is generally sufficient to show the injury. An antero-posterior view is also useful.

Injuries of the Cervical Vertebrae.—Two positions have already been described. The lateral is the most useful, for it shows readily very slight de-partures from the normal. Fracture dislocation of the cervical vertebra3 is a not un-common injury. Any part of the cervical region may be the seat of a dislocation. The appearances are unmistakable when wellmarked, but the doubt-ful cases give rise toconsiderable difficulty indiagnosis.
