						But if the articular extremity of the humerus be carried to either
						side above the bone of the fore-arm, which is prominent, into the
						hollow of the arm (?), this rarely happens; but if it does happen,
						extension in the straight line is not so proper under such circumstances;
						for in such a mode of extension, the process of the ulna (<hi rend="ital">olecranon?</hi>）
						prevents the bone of the arm (<hi rend="ital">humerus?</hi>) from passing over it. In dislocations
						of this kind, extension should be made in the manner described when
						treating of the bandaging of fractured bones of the arm, extension
						being made upward at the armpit, while the parts at the elbow are
						pushed downward, for in this manner can the humerus be most readily
						raised above its cavity; and when so raised, the reduction is easy
						with the palms of the hand, the one being applied so as to make pressure
						on the protuberant part of the arm, and the other making counter-pressure,
						so as to push the bone of the fore-arm into the joint. This method
						answers with both cases. And perhaps this is the most suitable mode
						of reduction in such a case of dislocation. The parts may be reduced
						by extension in a straight line, but less readily than thus.</p></div2></div1></body></text></TEI.2>
