Not illustrated. 1882 Excerpt: ... part of the arch is precisely in the line of pressure. Lastly, there are three 'buffers' which break shocks; one at the pubic sym physis, the other two at the sacro-iliac symphyses. Secondary Arches.--From the main arch, two secondary arches proceed, one on either side: these are the ' sitting arches, ' and the summit of each is at the tuberosity of the ischium. The following is a good instance of the enormous weight the pelvic arch will bear without injury, provided the weight be Ttpplied along the arch. A waggon wheel passed over a man's pelvis from side to side, immediately over the symphysis pubis. The man stated that the waggon with the load in it weighed 5 tons 7 cwt. There was no injury beyond an ecchymosis of the scrotum and the upper part of the thighs. After three weeks, the man left the Hospital well, with the exception of a slight lameness. Obliquity of the Pelvis.--In the erect attitude the line of Fio. 30. Fio. 31. LINE OF GRAVITY OF THE BODT. ANGLE OF INCLINATION OF THE PELVIS, 144. gravity of the spine falls perpendicularly on the sacrum, as shown in the line a b, tig. 30. With this perpendicular, the inclination of the pelvis forms an angle (a b c, fig. 31) of 144 in the male, and 140 in the female. Now this angle is such, that the line of gravity falls through the acetabulum, and consequently the weight is transmitted directly on to the heads of the thigh-bones. For all practical purposes, one may ascertain the proper obliquity of the pelvis by holding it so that the 'notch' shall be the lowest part of the acetabulum (p. 153). The end of the coccyx will then be about half an inch higher than the lower part of the symphysis pubis. Axes of the Pelvis.--The axis of the brim of the pelvis, that is, a line passing at right angles through the ce..

SO disappointed when I got this book. Not only is it just a LITERAL photocopy of a book from the first page to the last, it is done in a way that left a lot of white space on the page and so the actual text and images are quite small. And so sloppily done, there are several pages where you can actually see the binding and the splayed out pages from the rest of the book like they put it on a photocopier and didn't even worry about cropping in.
