A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . transverse, three were simple and oblique, three were comminuted, andtwo were compound. Dupuytren, A. Cooper, and others, have alsomentioned cases of longitudinal fracture. Fig. Fig. 204. I have seen a double transverse fracture, or a fracture of bothpatellse, in a man set. 22, who fell from a third-story window, striking,he says, upon his knees. He was taken to the Hospital of the Sistersof Charity, in Buffalo, and, after a few weeks, made an excellentrecovery. Symptoms.—The symptoms which characterize a transverse fractureof the patella are sufficiently diagnostic. The fragments are separated from each other, the superior fragmentbeing drawn upwards more or less, ac-cording to the power and activity of themuscles or the degree to which the liga-mentous coverings and attachments of thepatella have been torn. Seldom, however,is the interval of separation greater thanhalf an inch. But in a few cases the violentflexion of the knee has been known to drawthe upper fragment quite three inches fromthe lower. By passing the finger along theanterior surface of the limb with a mode-rate degree of firmness, the depression be-tween the fragments will be made manifest.
