Instruments Of Reduction

By Hippocrates

Book Overview

Unfortunately, there is no book titled ""Instruments of Reduction"" written by Hippocrates. While Hippocrates is a famous figure in the field of medicine, he lived in ancient Greece and did not write any books. He is known for his contributions to the development of the Hippocratic Oath, which is still recited by doctors today, and for his writings on medical ethics and the importance of observation and clinical experience in diagnosis and treatment. It is possible that ""Instruments of Reduction"" refers to a specific medical procedure or technique used in the past, but without further context, it is difficult to provide a complete description of the book.In complete dislocations to either side, make extension while the arm is in the position it is put in to be bandaged for a fracture, for thus the rounded part of the elbow will not form an obstacle to it. Dislocation most commonly takes place inward. The parts are to be adjusted by separating the bones as much as possible, so that the end of the humerus may not come in contact with the olecranon, but it is to be carried up and turned round, and not forced in a straight line; at the same time the opposite sides are to be pushed together, and the bones reduced to their place. In these cases rotation of the elbow cooperates; that is to say, turning the arm into a state of supination and pronation; so much for the reduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
