the sternum and vertebra}, and the oesophagus was also bruised. 

 The man died shortly after admission to the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. 

 It should be noted that the bone, although broken, is not 

 displaced, and the injury could not be seen from the front, 

 nor, in fact, from the back either, until the soft parts were 

 dissected off to show the fracture below. G. C. 3343.

FRACTUKES OF RIBS. 



3. 93. United Fracture of Ribs. — Sternal ends of three ribs 

 of an adult, with costal cartilages — macerated — showing a 

 united fracture in each bone. 



In each case there is some displacement. In two of the 

 ribs the fracture has taken place about one inch, and in the 

 third about two inches from the cartilage. W. C. G. 2. 



3. 94. United Fracture of Ribs. — Two mid-left ribs of an adult — 

 macerated — showing the above. 



They were taken from the Acropolis of Athens. 

 The bones have been broken about their middle, and have 

 united. From the seat of fracture of the lower rib a connect- 

 ing mass of new bone extends to the upper rib in front of the 

 broken spot. (This bridge of bone has been accidentally broken 

 after death.) G. C. 2076.

macerated, showing the above.

 middle, but has united, with no other displacement excepting 

 that of over-riding. W. C. G. 8.
