the bone. If sections are made transversely of the neck of the thigh- bone in old persons, the neck of the bone is found so exceed-ingly spongy, as to be unable to bear even slight concussion. Fig. 8. Is a fracture of the neck of the thigh-bone in a personbetween thirty and forty years of age. The preparation waslent me by Mr. Herbert Mayo. The bone was shortened an inch only, because a fork in thetrochanter minor has caught the neck of the bone, and pre-vented its further descent. The person lived nine months afterthe accident; and, notwithstanding the age being favourable,the bones being nearly in apposition, ligamentous union onlywas produced. A. Head of the bone B. Trochanter major C. Shaft of the bone D. Fork in the trochanter minor E. Fracture united by ligament only. It is curious to observe how little the head of the bone ischanged in this fracture after nine months. Any other bonesin the body but those forming parts of articulations would beloaded with ossific matter. FIG. 6
