A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . Fig. 139. Fig. Fracture of lower end ofradius: back view. Fracture of lower end ofradius; side view.

I have seen, however, in the museumof the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, aspecimen of this fracture in which the line of frac-ture is transverse, from side to side, but very obliquefrom before backward, and from below is also a line of incomplete fracture extendinginto the joint. It is united by bone, with the usualdisplacement backward; and there are several sim-ilar specimens in the New York Hospital own cabinet contains two such examples. It ismy opinion, therefore, that the direction of the lineof fracture described by Voillemier is exceptional. Bone
