It is impor-tant to n-i ognize the situation and the direction of the acromio- IO() SYMPTOMS IO/ clavicular joint in order to discriminate between a fracture of theouter end of the clavicle and one of the acromial process. It islikewise important intelligently to palpate the normal shoulder, todetermine that the acromial process does not form the outer limitof the shoulder, but that it is formed by the greater tuberosity ofthe humerus. Symptoms.—The common seat of fracture is in the middlethird of the bone (see Figs. 115-118 inclusive). The shoulder,having lost the support of the clavicle, falls forward and dropsinward, consequently the outer fragment that moves with theshoulder drops below the inner fragment
