*E. a. 628. Fracture of both bones of the left leg, three
inches above the ankle, re-united without much deformity, and
with the lower fragments behind, and to the outer side of the
superior.
*E. a. 629 ■ A section of a re-united fracture of a right tibia,
of which the deformity is of the same kind and to the same
amount as in the foregoing. The disposition of the bony
structures in the healed part, is well shown in the section.
*E. a. 630. Oast of the right leg of an adult, exhibiting the
appearance of a recent compound fracture of - both the bones,
accompanied with extensive laceration of the soft parts, and
for which amputation was performed.
*E. a. 631. Oast of a simple fracture of both bones of the
leg, near the ankle, with partial dislocation of the superior
fragments in a direction forwards and outwards.
E. a. 650. Fracture of the projecting extremity of the
acromion process of the left scapula : the bones are slightly
separated from each other and held in place by ligament (in
spirits).—Dr. Houston.
E. a. 651. Transverse fracture of the right acromion process
through the scapulo-clavicular articulation. The bones
are in perfect apposition though joined only by a gristly tex-
ture.—Professor Kirby.
E. a. 652. Fracture of the acromion, near the extremity.
There is a false joint, with considerable sinking of the detached
piece.—Idem.
E. a. 653. Fracture of the left clavicle within an inch of its
outer extremity. The outer fragment is lowered; the bone
shortened and a large lump of new bone formed. Some carious
action was going on in the lower part of the callus at
the time of death.—J. SheHeton, Esq.
E. a. 654. Fracture near the scapular extremity of the
right clavicle. The outer piece is sunk below and behind the
inner : the union is sti’ong, but bulky,—Idem.
E. a. 655. Fracture of the centre of the clavicle, healed
with considerable deformity. The inner fragment projects
forward : the outer has sunk completely behind and below it.
—Professor Kirby.
E. a. 656. Eight clavicle fractured near the centre, firmly
consolidated and smoothed down. There is considerable
overlapping; and the natural Curves of the bone are much
increased.—Idem.
E. a. 657. Oast of the front and left side of the chest,
showing the outward deformity attendant on fracture of the
clavicle a little to the outside of its centre. The projection of
the inner fragment, forwards, and the sinking of the shoulder,
are well exhibited.—Idem.
E. a. 670. A preparation, in spirits, of an os humeri, fractured
at its neck. The patient was a woman, set. seventy, in
whom the accident was produced by a fall on her shoulder, on
the floor. She lived only twelve days after. The fracture occurred
between the tuberosities and the insertion of the deltoid
muscle : it was somewhat oblique, but the fragments are
only little displaced. Considerable progress, as shown in the
preparation, had been made towards reparation. The periosteum
and parts adjacent are thickened by solid, dense
lymph; and in the medullary canal, a substance of the same
nature, but much softer, appears; the tendon of the biceps
muscle has lost its silvery appearance, and become adherent
in its sheath.—Richard Carmichael, Esq.
E. a. 671. Re-united fracture of the anatomical neck of the
left humerus, in an elderly female. There is little deformity :
the union is perfect without much superfluous bony deposit;
and the articulating surfaces of the joint ai’e healthy.—Prof'.
Kirby.
E. a. 672. Fracture of the neck of the right humerus, close
to the head. The union is perfect, but with a slight angular
projection inwards : the joint is sound: the bone is extremely
light .-—Idem.
