1. Femoral neck deformities that developed in patients under clinical observation are described. 2. Experiments made on ten decalcified femora produced similar deformities. 3. The two sets of observations are correlated and discussed with reference to the role of muscular imbalance in the causation of deformities of the femoral neck.
An anomaly is reported in a girl aged eight years in which an outgrowth from the left radius articulated with a hollow in an eminence on the corresponding ulna. The histological findings are described and the significance of this unusual malformation is discussed.
1. Forty patients out of sixty-nine operated upon between 1932 and 1952 by displacement osteotomy for congenital dislocation of the hip, ununited fracture of the neck of the femur, and osteoarthritis of the hip have been reviewed and the results analysed. 2.
