In Lees case the capsule was ^ freely lacerated all around, a smallportion remaining attached to the femur in front and behind/ Thiswas, therefore, an ^ irregular dislocation, and to the extensive lacera-tion of the capsule corresponded a variation in the symptoms whichfully corroborates Bigelows views; the report says: Two of themain signs of dislocation were absent, namely, the advanced positionof the knee with the foot resting upon the opposite one, and markedshortening. The head of the femur was below the pyriformis muscleand immediately behind the acetabulum. In Walkers the posterior rim of the acetabulum had been broken off,the posterior half of the capsule torn away, and the bone displaced toan unusual distance. The violence had been very great. The preservation of the anterior portion of the capsule, the ilio-femoral ligament, is constant, as has been said, in the cases whichBigelow terms ^^ regular, those
