Atlas and epitome of traumatic fractures and dislocations . by the impaction. Figure 2 & presents a frontal section ofthe bone. The impaction has been broken up and the head is shownin the position which it was made to occupy by the impaction. Theshaft is in adduction with respect to the head of the femur or pelvis.(Authors collection.) Ill practice we distinguish tlie following :(a) Fractures of the Neck of the Femur (Fracturacolli femoris).—These are relatively frequent. The divisioninto intracapsular and extracapsular, while correct in the-ory, must be qualified in practice. The lines of fractureare not always transverse, and the relations of the capsuleare neither uniform nor of any vital importance. In so-called extracapsular fractures the line of fracture oftenenters the capsule, if only because, as has been stated, theanterior portion of the capsule extends as far as the inter-trochanteric line; hence the extracapsular fractures of thebooks are usually mixed—i. e., they are partly intracapsu-lar and partly extracapsular.
