130 Injuries of Bone. 



3. 238. Badly united Fracture about the Middle of the 



Shaft. — Right femur — macerated, showing the above. 



The upper fragment, sharply pointed, over-rides in front 

 of the lower, and at a distance from it of about 1| inches, and 

 yet the interval is partly filled up by dense callus. The lower 

 fragment is tilted outwards below, and is rotated, slightly out- 

 wards.

3. 239. Badly united Fracture, a little below the Middle 



of the Shaft. — Right femur — macerated, showing the above. 

 The upper fragment over-rides in front of the lower, and at 

 a distance from it of about \^ inches, and yet the interval is- 

 completely filled up by dense callus. The medullary cavity of 

 each fragment has been closed over, and, as in many of the 

 previous specimens, the callus has a smooth outer shell, con- 

 tinuous with the adjacent portions of the shaft. The fragments 

 are in line, and the lower one is rotated slightly outAvards.

3. 240. Badly united Fracture at the Junction of the 

 Middle and Lower Thirds of the Shaft.— Left femur — 



macerated, showing the above. 



The bones are united in a manner similar to that seen in 

 the foregoing specimen, but with less interval between the 

 fractured ends. The upper fragment is in front of the lower. 

 Above the seat of fracture it is curved outwards and forwards, 

 and its diameter, increased in the direction of the curve, 

 is flattened from side to side. The lower fragment is rotated, 

 outwards, but is very little changed in appearance.
