3. 176. United Intra-capsular Fracture of the Neck.— 



Upper part of the right femur of an old man — macerated, and 

 sawn transversely through the head and neck to show the 

 internal structure. 



The patient was a man aged seventy. 



There is complete osseous union and restoration of the 

 cancellous tissue, but with shortening and marked eversion. 



The specimen, which resembles the previous one, belonged 

 to Mr John Lizars, and is referred to in his " Practical Surgery,' 

 part i. p. 145. G. C. 3268. 



3. 177. United Intra-capsular Fracture of the Neck of 



the Femur. — Plaster cast of the previous specimen, before 

 section. G. C. 2781. 



Presented by Charles W. Cathcabt, F.R.C.S.E., 1888. 



3. 178. United Intra-capsular Fracture of the Neck.— 



Sections of the upper end of the left femur of an old lady — 

 macerated, and showing the above. 



The neck has given way within the capsule. The trochanter 

 is higher than the head, and the neck is shortened. The 

 lower fragment has been somewhat everted. The internal 

 structure of the bone cannot be properly studied on account of 

 the presence of adipocere. G. C. 2268.
