17. Ὅλη δὲ ἡ χεὶρ ὀλισθάνει ἢ ἔσω ἢ ἔξω, μάλιστα δὲ ἔσω,
ἢ ἔνθα ἢ ἔνθα· ἔστι δ᾿ ὅτε ἡ ἐπίφυσις ἐκινήθη· ἔστι δ᾿ ὅτε τὸ ἕτερον
τῶν ὀστέων διέστη. Τουτέοισι κατάτασις ἰσχυρὴ ποιητέη, καὶ τὸ
μὲν ἐξέχον ἀπωθέειν, τὸ δ᾿ ἕτερον ἀντωθέειν, δύο εἴδεα ἅμα, καὶ ἐς
τοὐπίσω καὶ ἐς τὸ πλάγιον, ἢ χερσὶν ἐπὶ τραπέζης, ἢ πτέρνῃ. Παλίγκοτα
δὲ καὶ ἀσχήμονα, τῷ χρόνῳ δὲ κρατύνεται ἐς χρῆσιν.
Ἴησις, ὀθονίοισι ξὺν τῇ χειρὶ καὶ τῷ πήχεϊ, καὶ νάρθηκας μέχρι δακτύλων
τιθέναι· ἐν νάρθηξι δὲ τεθέντα ταῦτα πυκνότερον λύειν, ἢ
τὰ κατήγματα, καὶ καταχύσει πλέονι χρῆσθαι.

ὅλη δὲ ἡ χεὶρ ὀλισθάνει ἢ ἔσω ἢ ἔξω, μάλιστα δὲ ἔσω, ἢ ἔνθα ἢ ἔνθα· ἔστι δʼ ὅτε ἡ ἐπίφυσις ἐκινήθη· ἔστι δʼ ὅτε τὸ ἕτερον τῶν ὀστέων διέστη. τουτέοισι κατάτασις ἰσχυρὴ ποιητέη, καὶ τὸ μὲν ἐξέχον ἀπωθέειν, τὸ δʼ ἕτερον ἀντωθέειν, δύο εἴδεα ἅμα, καὶ ἐς τοὐπίσω καὶ ἐς τὸ πλάγιον, ἢ χερσὶν ἐπὶ τραπέζης, ἢ πτέρνῃ. Παλίγκοτα δὲ καὶ ἀσχήμονα, τῷ χρόνῳ δὲ κρατύνεται ἐς χρῆσιν. ἴησις, ὀθονίοισι ξὺν τῇ χειρὶ καὶ τῷ πήχεϊ, καὶ νάρθηκας μέχρι δακτύλων τιθέναι· ἐν νάρθηξι δὲ τεθέντα ταῦτα πυκνότερον λύειν, ἢ τὰ κατήγματα, καὶ καταχύσει πλέονι χρῆσθαι.

[17] The whole hand is dislocated either inward, or outward, but especially inward, or to this side or that. Sometimes the epiphysis is displaced, and sometimes there is displacement ( diastasis) of the one bone from the other. Powerful extension is to be made in this case; and the projecting part is to be pressed upon, and counter-pressure made on the opposite side: both modes being performed at the same time, both backward and laterally, either with the hands on a table, or with the heel. These accidents give rise to serious consequences and deformities; but in time the parts get so strong as to admit of being used. The treatment consists of bandages comprehending the hand and forearm, and splints are to be applied as far as the fingers; when put in splints, they are to be more frequently loosed than in fractures, and more copious allusions of water are to be used.
