FKACTURE OF THE PELVIS. 



3. 165. United Fracture througrh the Ala of the Ilium.— 



Pelvis of an adult man — macerated, showing the above. 



The ala of the left ilium has been broken across, and there 

 has been a great deposit of new bone along the line of fracture.

FKACTUKES OF THE FEMUE. 



3. 166. Attachment of the Capsule of the Hip Joint to 



the Femur. — Upper end of a femur — muscles dissected off — 

 in spirit, showing the above. 



The reflected portions of ligament which run along the 

 neck towards the head are well shown. They carry blood- 

 vessels, hence, when they are torn through in intra-capsular 

 fracture, the nutrition of the upper fragment is seriously 

 impaired. G. C. 3552. 



Presented by Johnson Symington, F.R.C.S.E., 1893. 



3. 167. Structure of the Upper End of the Femur.— 



Transverse section through the upper end of a femur — macerated , 

 showing the above. 



This view shows the relations of the neck as bearing upon 

 impaction. G. C. 3553. 



Presented by Johxson Symington, F.R.C.S.E., 1893. 



3. 168. Recent Intracapsular Fracture of the Neck.— 



Upper part of the left femur of an adult — macerated, showing 

 the above. 



The line of fracture is very irregular, and several pieces of 

 bone are wanting along its anterior and upper part. The outer 

 fragment seems to have been impacted into the inner or head
