. A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations. in full flexion. Because ofthe effect of rotation of the arm at the shoulder upon the position ofthe wrist with reference to the shoulder the latter feature—abductionin flexion—can be recognized only on comparison with the other arm,and preferably while both arms are in full outward rotation at theshoulder so as to insure symmetry of their positions. The artery or the median or musculospiral nerve may be torn orcompressed, but this injury is much less frequent than might be antici-pated from the extent and direction of the displacement. In

In 2 cases of inward displacement of the low form in the youngI have seen late sloughing of the skin by pressure against the outerangle of the upper fragment. Savariaud reports 4 cases of ap]>arentinjury to the median and ulnar nerves ; 1 recovered spontaneously,1 after operation, and in 2 operation failed to relieve. 1 Stimson : Cubitus varus.
