This isshown in the accompanying diagram (Fig. 178), and depends uponthe fact that in the dislocation on to the dorsum ilii the head of the bone in extension lies abovethe acetabulum, and whenflexed at a right angle to thebody on the same level as theacetabulum ; whereas in thesciatic dislocation the head ofthe bone in extension is al-most on the same level as theacetabulum, but when flexedat a right angle to the bodyHes considerably behind theacetabulum, 3.
