κάτω τοῦ σίνεος ὀστέα, πλεῖστον τὰ ἐγγύτατα τοῦ πήχεος, δεύτερον,
χειρὸς, τρίτον, δακτύλων· βραχίων δὲ καὶ ὦμος, ἐγκρατέστερα
διὰ τὴν τροφήν· ἡ δὲ ἑτέρη χεὶρ διὰ τὰ ἔργα ἔτι πλείω
ἐγκρατεστέρη. Μινύθησις δὲ σαρκῶν, εἰ μὲν ἔξω ἐξέπεσεν, ἔσωθεν·
εἰ δὲ μὴ, ἐς τοὐναντίον, ᾗ ἐξέπεσεν.

[21] In those cases callus is quickly formed. In congenital dislocations the bones below the seat of the injury are shorter than natural, and, mostly, those nearest to the place; namely, the bones of the fore-arm, next those of the hand; and, third, those of the fingers. The arm and shoulder are stronger, owing to the nourishment which they receive, and the other arm, from the additional work which it has to perform, is still more strong. Wasting of the flesh takes place on the inside if the dislocation be on the outside; or otherwise, on the side opposite the dislocation.
