It will be seen that the head of the femur has been crowded upward and backward. This in typical cases continues until the head of the femur is partially absorbed, the acetabulum enlarged, and finally a subluxation takes place, and the exaggerated pressure of the femur upon the acetabulum is diminished. After a while, in successful cases, cicatrization of bone follows, and ossification, with a resulting deformity - the deformity con sisting of a shortened and adducted limb with subluxation, as indicated by the fact that the trochanter is higher than the Nelaton line.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
