(2) Fracture without displacement: (a) Complicated;three varieties—calcanean, malleolar, and scaphoid, (b) Simple,either through the neck, the anterior or the posterior extremity. The Eontgen photograph of dislocation of astragalus, with rota-tion on its transverse axis, is a good specimen of a not frequentinjury, and one difficult to realize its exact condition without theaxray method of investigation (Fig. 65). Fractures of the Foot.—Tarsal and metatarsal fractures areoften obscure, and are no doubt at times treated as sprains.An interesting case of this kind brought under the notice of thewriter was that of a young lady whose foot was injured by a fallfrom a bicycle. Seme six weeks later, as the foot was stillpainful, it was radiographed, with the result that an unsuspectedmetacarpal fracture was at once revealed. * Radioscopie et Badiographie Cliniques, Dr. Regnier.
