If the displacement does not interfere with the lung, it is not desirableto interfere with it. Time and a period of rest in slings is all that can bedone to effect a union. Where a wound is produced at the time of the fracture, advantage shouldbe taken to rectify displacement, if such exists, by the method above de-scribed under antiseptic precautions. 256 HEALTH AND DISEASE FRACTURE OF THE PELVIS The large size of the pelvis, its projecting angles and position, render itspecially liable to fracture, and modern road-making in our large townscontributes not a little to this result. Wood pavement, when the surfaceis first moistened with water, is rendered difficult to travel over at anytime, but with heavy loads behind them, where the ground is on theascent, or slopes, as it usually does, from the centre towards the sides.

When the fall is on the side, and theforce is applied to the point of the haunch, a portion of the angle of theilium may be broken away from its body, or the fracture may take place insome remote and deeply seated part. Draught-horses, when moving heavyloads in two-wheeled carts, are sometimes brought to the ground by theirhind-limbs suddenly slipping away from them right and left, when thepelvis is forced to the breaking-point by the weight of the load on theone hand and the struggles of the animal on the other.
