The forearm, wrist, and metacarpus are immobilised in the attitude of dorsal flexion, while the fingers and thumb are left free to allow of passive movements. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. Twists and dislocations are most common in the cervical region, that is, in the part of the spine where the forward range of movement—flexion—is greatest. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. Dorsal flexion is checked by the flexor tendons and dorsal ligaments. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 In disease of the elbow, the usual attitude is that of flexion with pronation of the hand. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. When operative treatment is contra-indicated, the patient should be fitted with a firm apparatus which will limit flexion of the knee and support the fragments. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. Clinical Features.—The joint is fixed, usually in a position of slight flexion, and the displaced patella can readily be palpated. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. Fracture-dislocations usually occur where the range of flexion is intermediate, that is, in the thoracic region. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. While bearing weight, there is assumed a position of slight dorsal flexion, undue flexion being checked by the inhibitory apparatus of the joint—check ligaments, and their tendons and the suspensory ligament. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 In the case of the hip, the dislocation may be left alone and the femur divided below the trochanter, especially if there is pronounced flexion. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. In examining an injured elbow, the thumb and middle finger are placed respectively on the two epicondyles, while the index locates the olecranon and traces its movements on flexion and extension of the joint. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. The limb is adducted, its normal range of abduction, and sometimes also of flexion, is restricted, and there is, as a rule, some degree of lateral rotation, so that the toes point outwards. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. It usually results from forcible flexion of the spine, as, for example, when a miner at work in the stooping posture is struck on the shoulders by a heavy fall of coal. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. This also, is a ginglymus joint, having but slight lateral motion, and that only when it is in a state of flexion. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 In flexion the tendon rises on to the lateral condyle of the femur. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. Wry-Neck or Torticollis.—The term wry-neck or torticollis is applied to a condition in which the head assumes an abnormal attitude, which is usually one of combined lateral flexion and rotation. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. This is brought about by flexion of the elbow and carpal joints. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 The spine is acutely bent, and breaks at the angle of flexion and not at the point struck. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. Likewise, the various abnormal positions assumed,—adduction, abduction, undue flexion or pointing—have their own significance and are taken into account by the trained diagnostician in the course of an examination. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 Normal subjects shift their weight from one hind leg to the other and the one relaxed, rests in a state of flexion with the toe on the ground and the heel raised. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 Motion is that of flexion and extension; slight rotation is possible when the position is that of flexion. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 Volar flexion is restrained by the extensor tendons. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 The joint is fixed in acute flexion to relax the biceps, to allow of union of the torn ligaments, and to prevent recurrence. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition. The foot may contact the ground squarely and yet the leg may remain relaxed and free from pressure; volar flexion, in such cases, is indicative of inflammation of a part of the flexor apparatus. Lameness of the Horse Veterinary Practitioners' Series, No. 1 In acute tendinitis, the subject while at rest, maintains the affected member in volar flexion because this position permits relaxation of the inhibitory apparatus, including the inflamed tendon.
