Fractures of the Phalang-es are also common. There may be nodisplacement in some fractures. The diagnosis can be made by a screenexamination, but even with these small bones it is always well to confirmthe diagnosis by taking a radiograph. A negative diagnosis should neverbe made on the screen examination alone. Fractures of the Pelvis The pelvis is often injured by direct or indirect violence. A radiographshould be taken of the whole pelvis in one picture, or several smaller onesmay be taken to discover the nature of the injury. The position usuallychosen is the antero-posterior. that is, with the plate behind and the tube in front. The ihac bones may be fractured, when it is sometim
