A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . ear to lieover the head. I feel quite sure that this does not result from any twist of thehand carrying the fragment of the radius. I find proof of the correctness of this 278 FRACTURES OF THE RADIUS. proposition in the specimen before us. The dead tissue presents the tendoncurved out of its place. In the living, under muscular contraction, this wouldbe a straight line, and lie over the head of the ulna. I find also in what I deemcases of luxation, a mobility of the end of the ulna incompatible with the integ-rity of the ligamentous apparatus. Every observer has recognized a differenceof the form of the wrist in different cases. Some are curved backward—thegenuine silver-fork shape; others have the hand carried more laterally. Myconvictions are, that those that present the wrist well curved back, are more aptto be those of luxation of the ulna with fracture, but the lateral bend impliesgenerally shortening of the radius from fracture without luxation of the ulna.
