The following comprise practically all the cases reported Hamilton, in his excellent work upon “Fractures and Dislocations’’ mentions several cases of separation of the epiphysis of the lower end of the humerus. He cites no personal ones.1 Case 1.—Dr. Watson’s case: Infant of two years, whose arm was violently wrenched by the mother while lifting the child. This case was seen on the fourth day following the injury. The swelling was so great as not to permit of an immediate diagnosis.
