In the prognosis of hip fractures the possibility of failure of unionand of absorption of the head of the femur must always be kept Fig. 22.—Double congenital dislocation of the hip. DISLOCATIONS. Dislocations of the spine are usually accompanied by are most common in the cervical region. The first cervicalvertebra may be displaced backward on the second with fractureof the odontoid or, more rarely, rotated upon the second withoutfracture of the odontoid. The most frequent injury is a forwarddisplacement of the upper cervical vertebrae upon the ones belowin the region of the third to the seventh. 46 FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS
