The exact ana-tomical diagnosis that we are now able to make enables us todetermine whether surgical interference is possible, and if so, itoutlines the modus operandi. To avoid false interpretations of skiagraphs of children, itshould be remembered that the lower epiphyses of the tibia andthe fibula show their osseous nuclei in the first and second years,and unite with the diaphysis between the eighteenth and thetwenty-fifth year, or, according to skiagraphic evidence, sometimes PELVTS AND LOWER EXTREMITY 177 even before the eighteenth year. The osseous nuclei of the astraga-lus and of the calcaneum appear intra-utero, that of the cuboidshortly before or after birth, that of the cuneiform between thefirst and fifth year, and that of the scaphoid from the first to thefifth year. The osseous nuclei of the metatarsal bones and of the

Injuries and diseases of the phalanges are, of course, easilyrecognised. For a general view the tubal focus should be directlyabove the first phalanx of the middle toe. For differentiationfrom arthritis and chronic inflammatory processes skiagraphy ismost important. The time of exposure should not exceed half aminute—even in a few seconds useful reproductions of the toescan be obtained under favourable circumstances.
