On laying bare the outer margin of the semi-membranosus muscle, while the knee is straight, it now becomes necessary to flex the joint, in order that this muscle may admit of being pressed inwards from over the vessel.

The bursæ in the popliteal space, especially that between the semi-membranosus and the medial head of the gastrocnemius, as well as the sub-crural bursa, frequently communicate with the synovial cavity of the knee and may share in its diseases.

Several important bursæ are found in the popliteal space, one of which -- the semi-membranosus bursa -- sometimes communicates with the knee-joint.

The artery is covered superficially above by the semi-membranosus; in the middle of its course, by a quantity of fat; and below by the margins of the gastrocnemius, plantaris and soleus muscles, the popliteal vein and internal popliteal nerve.

Place the Patient in the prone position and extend his limbs; make an incision three inches in length through the integument along the posterior border of the semi-membranosus; divide the fascia lata and draw the muscle inwards; find the artery by means of its pulsations; separate the vein, which is on the inner side, and the nerve on the outer side, from the artery, taking care to injure neither the one nor the other; isolate the artery, and pass the needle from without inwards.

-- The upper fragment is carried forwards by the action of the psoas and iliacus internus, and at the same time everted and drawn outwards by the external rotator and glutei muscles, causing a marked prominence at the outer side of the thigh and great pain from the laceration of the muscles; the lower fragment is drawn upwards, by the rectus, biceps, semi-membranosus and semitendinous muscles, whilst its upper end is thrown outwards and its lower end inwards by the pectineus and adductor muscles; crepitation, preternatural
