3. 169. Somewhat recent Intracapsular Fracture of the 



Neck. — Upper end of the left femur of an adult — macerated, 

 showing the above. 



The line of fracture has been nearly vertical. Thus above 

 it has begun close to and involves the head, and below it has 

 passed out on the neck. Several pieces of bone are wanting at 

 the upper part of the line of fracture. From the roughness 

 of the front of the neck it would appear that the patient 

 survived the injury for some weeks. There is some absorption 

 on the front of the upper fragment, but there has been no 

 attempt at union. G. C 727. 



3. 170. Somewhat recent Intracapsular Fracture of the 



Neck. — Head and part of the neck of a femur detached by the 

 above form of fracture — in spirit. 



The patient lived six weeks after the accident. 



The line of fracture has been oblique, passing close to the 

 head above, and leaving a portion of the neck below.

3. 171. Somewhat recent Intracapsular Fracture of the 



Neck. — Upper end of the left femur of an adult — muscles 

 partly cleaned off— in spirit. 



The patient lived for six weeks after the accident. 

 The broken surfaces of the cancellated tissue are covered 

 with lymph, but there is no appearance of union.
