Invery old cases all hope of obtaining a movable joint mustbe abandoned and a resection or a subtrochanteric osteot-omy performed to correct the position of the limb. (B) Forward Dislocation (Luxatio antica sive prae-cotyloidea). (Plates 51 and 52.) The forward dislocation is rarer than the backwardvariety.
