16. Χειρὸς δὲ ἄρθρον ὀλισθάνει ἢ ἔσω, ἢ ἔξω, ἔσω δὲ τὰ
πλεῖστα. Σημεῖα δ᾿ εὔσημα· ἢν μὲν ἔσω, ξυγκάμπτειν ὅλως σφῶν
τοὺς δακτύλους οὐ δύνανται· ἢν δ᾿ ἔξω, ἐκτείνειν. ἐμβολὴ δὲ,
ὑπὲρ τραπέζης τοὺς δακτύλους ἔχων, τοὺς μὲν τείνειν, τοὺς δ᾿ ἀντιτείνειν,
τὸ δὲ ἐξέχον ἢ θέναρι ἢ πτέρνῃ ἅμα ἀπωθέειν πρόσω καὶ
κάτωθεν κατὰ τὸ ἕτερον ὀστέον, ὄγκον τε μαλθακὸν ὑποθεὶς, κἢν μὲν
ἄνω, καταστρέψας τὴν χεῖρα, ἢν δὲ κάτω, ὑπτίην. Ἴησις, ὀθονίοισιν.

[16] The joint of the hand is dislocated inward or outward, but most frequently inward. The symptoms are easily recognized; if inward, the patient cannot at all bend his fingers, but if outward, he cannot extend them. Reduction:—By placing the fingers above a table, extension and counter-extension are to be made by assistance, while, with the palm of the hand or the heel on the projecting bone, one presses forward, and from behind, upon the other bone, and lays some soft substance on it; and, if the dislocation be above, the hand is to be turned into a state of pronation; or, if backward, into a state of supination. The treatment is to be conducted with bandages.
