Extension is to be eflfected by secunng a folded towel or sheet above the knee, by means of a damp roller; this towel is to be acted upon gradually, by numerous assistants or by pulleys. The Fig. extension is to be made gradually, in such a direction as to draw the thigh across the opposite one, a little above the knee. A third band or towel is to be passed around the pelvis, in order to fix it more firmly, the ends of which are to be tied on the sound side, which is to be given to an assistant. , , Dislocations bacUvards and dowmvards in the sciatic notch are next in point of frequency. The head of the bone rests on the pyri- formis muscle, between the sacro-sciatic ligaments and the upper part of the notch, a little above the level of the middle of the acetabulum. The shortenincr and inversion of the foot is not so great as in the first variety; the head of the bone can seldom be felt; the joint is extremely rigid, and motion of the limb almost impossible In re- ducina this dislocation it is necessary that the head of the bone should first be brought out of the notch, before it can be restored to the acetabulum. Dislocations dow7iicards a7id inwards are comparatively rare ; the limb is elongated nearly two inches; the foot is advanced, though neither inverted or everted; the thigh is abducted and cannot be broucrht near to its fellow ; the psoas and iliacus mu
