f the bone can befelt in the axilla if the limb be raised. Diagnosis. There are three fractures liable to be mistaken forthis dislocation, viz., fracture of the acromion, of the neck of thescapula, and of the neck of the humerus. The first two may beknown by the facility with which the form of the joint is restoredby raising the limb, and by the crepitus felt on doing so. In fractureof the cervix humeri, the limb is shortened, instead of being length-ened as it is in dislocation ; there is not so great a depression underthe acromion; and the rough, angular end of the shaft may be feltin the axilla, instead of the natural, smooth head of the bone. Fig. 7. Dislocation of the Humerus forward. Symp-toms. The arm is shortened, the elbow projects backward, theacromion seems pointed, and the head of the bone cannot be feltunder it. Fig. 6. Dislocation of the Humerus backward. In thedislocation backward, the head of the bone may be felt on the dor-sum scapulae, and the elbow projects forward.
