The first two may be known by the facility withwhich the form of the joint is restored by raising the limb, and by thecrepitus felt on doing so. In fracture of the cervix humeri^ the limb isshortened., instead of being lengthened as it is in dislocation ;—there is notso much vacuity under the acromion;—and the rough angular end of theshaft may be felt in the axilla, instead of the natural smooth head of thebone.
