    1329^. Diseased knee-joint, showing a fistulous opening through the patella. Case of Peter F., aged 4 years, under Mr. Cock in March, 1853. Drawing, 31^. 13297*^. Diseased knee-joint, showing almost entire destruction of cartilage on the condyles, except over some small spaces. The medullary canal of the femur is enlarged, and the cancellous structure absorbed. The patella shows the thickened and flocculent synovial membrane. Case of John C., aged 49, under Mr. Hilton in July, 1854. He had suffered from diseased knee-joint for three years. Amputation and recovery. For further history see drawing, 31^0. 132975, Dried preparation of diseased knee-joint on left side, with partial dislocation. The disease has been almost entirely confined to the epiphysis. The femur is rotated inwards, so that the outer condyle is entirely thrown off its corre- sponding articular surface, and rests by a long process of bone which takes its place on the spine of the tibia. The patella is thus attached to the outer condyle. From the Dissecting-Room. 13298®. Condyles of femur showing partial absorption of cartilage, and, in places of latter, raised patches of false membrane. 132989 Head of tibia from same case, showing loss of cartilage and lymph in the joint. 132990. Semilunar cartilages from same case. 1329^1. Patella from same case. 1332. Knee-joint showing the destruction of the outer semilunar cartilage with suppurative inflammation of the synovial membrane, absorption of the articular cartilage on the same side, disorganization of the semilunar cartilage, and adhesion of the synovial membrane, without suppuration on the inner side. From a patient of Mr. Key.
