Those found in the tendons, which gUde over certain bones, occupy thefollowing positions : one in the tendon of the peroneus longus, where itglides through the groove in the cuboid bone ; one which appears later inthe tendon of the tibiahs anticus, opposite the smooth facet on the internalcuneiform bone ; one is found in the tendon of the tibiahs posticus, oppositethe inner side of the astragalus ; one in the outer head of the gastrocnemiusbehind the outer condyle of the femur, and one in the psoas and ihacus,where they glide over the pubes. Sesamoid bones are found occasionally in the tendon of tlie biceps,opposite the tuberosity of the radius ; in the tendon of the glutseus maximus,as it passes over the great trochanter, and in the tendons which wind roundthe inner and outer malleoh.

Note the epiphyseal line of head INJURIES OF BONES AND JOINTS The methods which are employed for the determination of injuries ofbones and joints are (1) fluoroscopy, (2) radiography.

A plate should alwaysbe exposed after the screen examina
