In the pubic dislocation the ascent of the limb is finally arrested bythe ilio-femoral ligament. The conclusion at which we ought to arrive seems to be that, insome cases, the capsule being completely or almost completely tornaway, the muscles offer the only resistance; and that according to the Fig. Dislocation upon the dorsum ilii. (Bigelow.) exact position of the limb or degree of displacement, one or anotherset of muscular fibres will oppose the reduction; and in other cases,the muscles being paralyzed by the shock, or by anaesthetics, thepartially torn capsule, into which the head of the bone is received asin a button-hole, or the Y ligament, prevents its free return into thesocket. Symptoms.—Sir Astley Cooper affirmed that the limb was some-times found shortened in this dislocation to the extent of three , B. Cooper, Gibson, and others, repeat the affirmation.
