Symjyloms.—In the inward dislocation fig. 253, which is the mostcommon, the foot is turned out, and a rumor is formed by the internalmalleolus pressing strongly against the skin, which seems ready toburst; the joint, however, is still movable.

In the forward dislocation, , the foot is shortened, the heel elongated, and rhe toes point down-ward. The backward dislocation, which rarely occurs, is manifest tothe sight.
