17. Ἢν δὲ τὸ ἕτερον ὀστέον κατεηγῇ ἐν κνήμῃ, κατατάσιος
μὲν ἀσθενεστέρης δεῖται, οὐ μὴν ἐπιλείπειν χρὴ, οὐδὲ βλακεύειν
ἐν τῇ κατατάσει, μάλιστα μὲν ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ ἐπιδέσει κατατείνεσθαι,
ὅσον ἐφικνέεται αἰεί ποτε πάντα τὰ κατήγματα, εἰ δὲ μὴ,
ὡς τάχιστα· ὅ τι γὰρ ἂν μὴ κατὰ τρόπον ηὐθετισμένων τῶν
ὀστέων ἐπιδέων τις πιέζῃ, ὀδυναίτερον τὸ χωρίον γίνεται.
Ἡ δὲ ἄλλη ἰητρείη ἡ αὐτή.

ἢν δὲ τὸ ἕτερον ὀστέον κατεηγῇ ἐν κνήμῃ, κατατάσιος μὲν ἀσθενεστέρης δεῖται, οὐ μὴν ἐπιλείπειν χρὴ, οὐδὲ βλακεύειν ἐν τῇ κατατάσει, μάλιστα μὲν ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ ἐπιδέσει κατατείνεσθαι, ὅσον ἐφικνέεται αἰεί ποτε πάντα τὰ κατήγματα, εἰ δὲ μὴ, ὡς τάχιστα· ὅ τι γὰρ ἂν μὴ κατὰ τροπον ηὐθετισμένων τῶν ὀστέων ἐπιδέων τις πιέζῃ, ὀδυναίτερον τὸ χωρίον γίνεται. ἡ δὲ ἄλλη ἰητρείη ἡ αὐτή.

[17] But if the other bone ( fibula?) of the leg be broken, less powerful extension is required, and yet it must not be neglected, nor be performed slovenly, more especially at the first bandaging. For in all cases of fracture this object should be attained then as quickly as possible. For when the bandage is applied tight while the bones are not properly arranged, the properly arranged, the part becomes more painful. The treatment otherwise is the same.
