Of the Luxation of the Clavicle.
The Clavicle is oftner loosen'd from the Acromion than from the Sternum; when it hath left the former the Arm cannot be lifted up; the Acromion makes a Prominence, and the Clavicle descends downward, a Cavity appearing in its place. To reduce this Luxation, the Patient is to be laid upon some Convex Body put between his Shoulders; both which are to be press'd backward, to raise up the Clavicle: Afterward he is to be set in a Chair, that his Arm may be drawn backward, whilst the
Surgeon is employ'd in pressing the Clavicle and Acromion, to join 'em together.
The Dressing and Bandage
Are the same with those that we have already shewn, in treating of the Fracture of the Clavicle.
