A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . appear to have been produced, generally, by a cause the re-verse of that which we have seen to produce in certain cases the pre-ceding dislocation. Thus, while the dislocation forwards is producedsometimes when the foot is in violent extension, this dislocation hasoccurred, in at least two or three cases, when the foot was forciblyflexed upon the leg. The symptoms are strongly marked and characteristic. The lengthof the foot from the tibia to the ends of the toes is increased one inchor more; the heel being correspondingly shortened, or rather whollyobliterated; a portion of the articulating surface of the astragalusmay be distinctly felt in front of the tibia; the posterior surface ofthe tibia touches the tendo-Achillis ; the leg is shortened, and the mal-leoli approach the sole of the foot. In most cases one or both of the malleoli have been broken; andR. W. Smith, who has reported one of the examples alluded to, be-lieves that the dislocation is never complete. Fig. 318. Fig.
