1 24 Injuries of Bone. 



3. 219. (Contd.) — The fracture has been nearly transverse. A part 

 of the bone at the seat of fracture has necrosed, and has been 

 in process of separation. Beyond the commencing groove ©•f 

 separation, irregular, newly-formed bone has been thrown out. 

 The fracture has probably been compound and septic.

3. 220. United Compound Fracture of the Shaft.— Eight 



femur of a young person — macerated, showing the above. Alii 

 the epiphyses, except that for the small trochanter, have been 

 lost during maceration. 



The lower fragment is internal to the upper, and it& 

 lower end has been tilted forwards and outwards. There ha& 

 been much inflammation, and the surfaces above and below 

 the fracture are crusted with newly-formed periosteal bone.. 

 The fracture has therefore probably been comppund. 



F. P. C. 126. 



3. 221. Badly united Fracture a little way below the 



Small Trochanter. — Upper end of a left femur — macerated,, 

 and divided vertically, showing the above. 



The line of fracture has begun below the small trochanter,. 

 and has run obliquely downwards and outwards. The upper 

 fragment is tilted outwards, and over-riding has occurred. The 

 medullary cavity is interrupted by cancellous tissue. The 

 union has been very solid. F. P. C. 105. 



3. 222. United Fracture a little below the Lesser Tro- 

 chanter. — Left femur — macerated, showing the above. 



The upper end is tilted outwards and slightly forwards.. 

 The lower part of the shaft has lost its usual forward bend,, 

 and has received a slight bend backwards as well as one 

 distinctly outwards. The outer condyle is thus relatively 

 raised, and some knock-knee must have existed. 



Although in some respects the shape of this bone resembles 

 that found in rickets, its similarity to the specimens which pre-
