This series, albeit consecutive and unselected, is very small; conclusions must therefore be tentative. The results do however suggest that the dangers of late manipulative reduction properly performed may have been exaggerated. Attempted without undue force it proved a harmless procedure, often successful even in cases of long duration. When it succeeds, the results in slips of unacceptable degree are at least as good as those following the more major surgical procedures, which can thus be avoided. Even when the displacement is minor its correction should on theoretical grounds at least decrease the prospects of later osteoarthritis. The only absolute contra-indication is a fused epiphysial plate. The degree of slip and above all the duration of symptoms should not preclude an attempt at manipulative reduction.

Changes in the knee joint after meniscectomy include ridge formation, narrowing of the joint space, and flattening of the femoral condyle. Investigations suggest that these changes are due to loss of the weight-bearing function of the meniscus. Meniscectomy is not wholly innocuous; it interferes, at least temporarily, with the mechanics of the joint. It seems likely that narrowing of the joint space will predispose to early degenerative changes, but a connection between these appearances and later osteoarthritis is not yet established and is too indefinite to justify clinical deductions.

1 . Attention is drawn to the not infrequent occurrence of downward subluxation of the shoulder joint accompanying fractures of the upper end of the humerus.

2. Such cases fall into early or late groups according to the time of onset of the subluxation.

3. The subluxation often disappears spontaneously, but it may persist and cause disability. It cannot safely be disregarded.

4. The etiology is discussed and experiments are described which lead to the conclusion that the subluxation is due chiefly to lack of tone in the scapulo-humeral muscles supporting the weight of the limb.

5. It is suggested that the use of a collar and cuff sling as a method of treatment for fractures of the shoulder is not without danger. A triangular sling usually prevents or cures the displacement.
