THE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL REPOETER. No. 338.] PHILADELPHIA, MAY 9, 1863. [Vol. X.—No. 2. Original Department. Lectures. LATERAL CURVATURE OF THE Prof. Louis Bauer, M. D. Of Brooklyn, N. [Continued from page 2 ]The third degree fFigs. 67, G8,) is already. characterized by anatomical changes and variousconsecutive deformities concerning the trunk. Thelatter, it will be perceived, does not incline as muchto one side as in the second degree, owing to theproportionate compensation through the lumbarcurve, yet the contours of the thorax are mate-rially altered, the respective angles of the rightribs are lessened and in degree more prominent, Fig 68. in consequence of which theshoulder-blade has been dis-placed at its lower angle andassumed an oblique position ; |;whereas, in front the ribs re-cede from the sternum andare flattened. The articula-tions of the vertebrae are ri-gid, almost anchylosed, andthe most powerful extensionfails to correct the curva-tures. The fourth degree repre-sents the final result of pro-gressive scoliosis habitualis,beyond which there can scarcely be a greater ag-gravation. Fig. 69.
