A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . Horizontal section of neck of femur.(From Bigelovr.) Extracapsular fracture, with inversion.(From Bigelow.) bone, or to near the point of attachment of the psoas magnus andiliacus intern us. There is also usually in this region a great degree oftenderness and an unusual fulness. If now the limb be seized, and extension gradually but firmly ap-plied, it will be soon made of the same length with the opposite thigh ;but, the moment the extension is discontinued, the shortening andeversion will recur, accompanied with pain, and perhaps crepitus.

The trochanter major is less prominent than upon the opposite side,and if eversion of the limb exists, the trochanter may be felt indis-tinctly upwards and backwards from its usual position. The patienthaving been placed under the influence of an anaesthetic, Ave may prose-cute the investigation still farther, and by rotating the limb inwardsand outwards as far as it will admit, we shall notice that the trochanterdescribes the arc of a smaller cir
