Then carry the knee outward, graduallyextending the leg and thigh (see Fig. 33). The head ofthe bone will thus be made to ride upon the edge of theacetabulum, and slip into its cavity. When the dislocation is forward and downward theflexed extremity should be carried as far toward the oppo-site side of the body as possible, in the same manner asabove outlined and seen in Fig. 32, then the knee firmlyturned in while the extremity is being gradually ex- DISLOCATION OF THE HIP-JOINT. 71.
