A fracture at the lowerend of the humerus may also be recognized by fixing thearm and pushing the forearm against it. If a fracture ispresent, crepitus and abnormal mobility will be discov-ered. The forearm also presents a certain mobility, bothfor abduction and for adduction. The position of theolecranon with respect to the condyles is normal; not in- 176 FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS. frequently the fragments can be directly felt.
