The thigh is next flexed to 90degrees, preserving the existing adduction and inwardrotation. 3. Traction is then made in the line of thefemur, to make the capsule tense. 4. External rotationis then practised, which makes the posterior part of thecapsule and Y-ligament tense, and returns the head of thebone to the acetabulum. Allis, in the reduction of dorsal dislocations, recom-mends that, while the
