Volkmann's ischæmic contracture occasionally develops after fractures of the forearm.
To this progressive enlargement of the socket Volkmann gave the suggestive name of “wandering acetabulum” (Fig. 108).
Do you know that Volkmann is quite an old man and lives in the greatest poverty at Pesth?
And you will know so, too, when you have read this true story and heard old Volkmann's claim to immortality.
Yesterday I played through a serenade for strings by Volkmann with great pleasure.
