{"Image ImageDescription": "Illustration from 'Atlas and Epitome of Traumatic Fractures and Dislocations' (by Dr. H. Helferich), 1902. Fig 1 Anatomic specimen showing a longitndinal section of the left arm with fracture of the lower radial epiphysis. The line of section goes through the radius and carpus the third metociirpal bone and the phalanges of the middle finger. The typical displacement of the fragment is seen the axis of the radius and hand is interrupted by small obliquely placed fragments and simulates the appearance of a bayonet. The end of the upper fragment forms a prominence on the volar surface corresponding to which an angular depression is found on the dorsal surface. Fig 2 The same fracture in the living subject. Copied from a photograph Ieft arm inner view. The typical deformity is at once recognized consisting of a prominence on the volar surface formed by the lower extremity of the bones of the forearm.
