75. Ἢν δὲ ἐς τοὔπισθεν μέρος ἐκπεπτώκῃ ὁ μηρὸς, τὰς μὲν κατατάσιας καὶ ἀντιτάσιας οὕτω δεῖ ποιέεσθαι, καθάπερ
εἴρηται· ἐπιστορέσαντα δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον ἱμάτιον πολύπτυχον,
ὡς μαλακώτατον ἔῃ, πρηνέα κατακλίναντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον, οὕτω
κατανείνειν· ἅμα δὲ τῇ κατατάσει χρὴ τῇ σανίδι καταναγκάζειν
τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον ὡς τὰ ὑβώματα, κατ᾿ ἴξιν τοῦ πυγαίου ποιησάμενον
τὴν σανίδα, καὶ μᾶλλον ἐς τὸ κάτω μέρος, ἢ ἐς τὸ ἄνω τῶν
ἰσχίων· καὶ ἡ ἐντομὴ, ἡ ἐν τῷ τοίχῳ τῇ σανίδι, μὴ εὐθεῖα
ἔστω, ἀλλ᾿ ὀλίγον καταφερὴς πρὸς τὸ τῶν ποδῶν μέρος. Αὕτη
ἡ ἐμβολὴ κατὰ φύσιν τε μάλιστα τῷ τρόπῳ τούτῳ τοῦ ὀλισθήματός
ἐστι, καὶ ἅμα ἰσχυροτάτη. Ἀρκέσειε δ᾿ ἂν ἴσως ἀντὶ τῆς σανίδος
καὶ ἐφεζόμενόν τινα, ἢ τῇσι χερσὶν ἐρεισάμενον, ἢ ἐπιβάντα,
ἐξαπίνης ἐπαιωρηθῆναι ἅμα τῇ κατατάσει. Ἄλλη δὲ οὐδεμίη ἐμβολὴ
τῶν προειρημένων κατὰ φύσιν ἐστὶ τῷ τρόπῳ τούτῳ τοῦ
ὀλισθήματος.

ἢν δὲ ἐς τοὔπισθεν μέρος ἐκπεπτώκῃ ὁ μηρὸς, τὰς μὲν κατατάσιας καὶ ἀντιτάσιας οὕτω δεῖ ποιέεσθαι, καθάπερ εἴρηται· ἐπιστορέσαντα δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον ἱμάτιον πολύπτυχον, ὡς μαλακώτατον ἔῃ, πρηνέα κατακλίναντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον, οὕτω κατανείνειν· άμα δὲ τῇ κατατάσει χρὴ τῇ σανίδι καταναγκάζειν τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον ὡς τὰ ὑβώματα, κατʼ ἴξιν τοῦ πυγαίου ποιησάμενον τὴν σανίδα, καὶ μᾶλλον ἐς τὸ κάτω μέρος, ἢ ἐς τὸ ἄνω τῶν ἰσχίων· καὶ ἡ ἐντομὴ, ἡ ἐν τῷ τοίχῳ τῇ σανίδι, μὴ εὐθεῖα ἔστω, ἀλλʼ ὀλίγον καταφερὴς πρὸς τὸ τῶν ποδῶν μέρος. αὕτη ἡ ἐμβολὴ κατὰ φύσιν τε μάλιστα τῷ τρόπῳ τούτῳ τοῦ ὀλισθήματός ἐστι, καὶ ἅμα ἰσχυροτάτη. Ἀρκέσειε δʼ ἂν ἴσως ἀντὶ τῆς σανίδος καὶ ἐφεζόμενόν τινα, ἢ τῇσι χερσὶν ἐρεισάμενον, ἢ ἐπιβάντα, ἐξαπίνης ἐπαιωρηθῆναι ἅμα τῇ κατατάσει. ἄλλη δὲ οὐδεμίη ἐμβολὴ τῶν προειρημένων κατὰ φύσιν ἐστὶ τῷ τρόπῳ τούτῳ τοῦ ὀλισθήματος.

On the Articulations Perseus (Hippocrates, The Genuine Works of Hippocrates, Vol. 2. Adams, Francis, translator. New York: William Wood and Company, 1886.) — 75 focus

[75] In dislocation of the thigh, backward, extension and counter-extension should be made as has been described; and having laid on the bench a cloth which has been folded several times, so that the patient may lie soft, he is to be laid on his face, and extension thus made, and, along with the extension, pressure is to be made with a board, as in the case of humpback, the board being placed on the region of the nates, and rather below than above the hip-joint; and the hole made in the wall for the board should not be direct over, but should be inclined a little downward, toward the feet. This mode of reduction is particularly appropriate to this variety of dislocation, and at the same time is very strong. But perhaps, instead of the board, it might be sufficient to have a person sitting ( on the seat of luxation?), or pressing with his hands, or with his foot, and suddenly raising himself up, along with the extension. None of the other aforementioned modes of reduction are natural in this form of dislocation.
