June 18, 1920, a capsulorrhaphy was performed; the sheaths of the teres major and of the pectoralis major were lengthened. The operation is too recent from which to judge ultimate results. CASE 19 (326010).--Mr. G. C. P., aged 36, was examined February 22, 1920. This patient had had epilepsy for eight years, but the first dislocation of the left shoulder occurred five months before our examination. A second dislocation had occurred six weeks before during a seizure. Unfortunately the doctor in reducing it broke the surgical neck of the humerus. An open operation was performed and good position was secured, but during an epileptic attack (attacks usually came on during sleep) the shoulder luxated. When we saw him the position of the fracture was so poor and the dislocation had been present so long that my colleague, Dr. Meyerding, excised the head. We have not heard from'the patient since his dismissal August 24, 1920, but at that time function promised to be good. CONCLUSIONS 1.
