19. Δακτύλου δὲ ἄρθρον ὀλισθὸν μὲν, εὔσημον, οὐ δεῖ γράφειν.
ἐμβολὴ δὲ αὐτοῦ ἥδε· κατατείναντα ἐς ἰθὺ, τὸ μὲν ἐξέχον ἀπωθέειν,
τὸ δὲ ἐναντίον ἀντωθέειν. Ἴησις δὲ ἡ προσήκουσα, τοῖσιν ὀθονίοισιν
ἐπίδεσις. Μὴ ἐμπεσὸν γὰρ ἐπιπωροῦται ἔξωθεν. Ἐκ γενεῆς δὲ ἢ
ἐν αὐξήσει ἐξαρθρήσαντα τὰ ὀστέα βραχύνεται κάτω τοῦ ὀλισθήματος·
καὶ σάρκες μινύθουσι τἀναντία μάλιστα, ἢ ὡς τὸ ἔκπτωμα· ηὐξημένῳ
δὲ τὰ ὀστέα μένει.

δακτύλου δὲ ἄρθρον ὀλισθὸν μὲν, εὔσημον, οὐ δεῖ γράφειν. ἐμβολὴ δὲ αὐτοῦ ἥδε· κατατείναντα ἐς ἰθὺ, τὸ μὲν ἐξέχον ἀπωθέειν, τὸ δὲ ἐναντίον ἀντωθέειν. ἴησις δὲ ἡ προσήκουσα, τοῖσιν ὀθονίοισιν ἐπίδεσις. μὴ ἐμπεσὸν γὰρ ἐπιπωροῦται ἔξωθεν. ἐκ γενεῆς δὲ ἢ ἐν αὐξήσει ἐξαρθρήσαντα τὰ ὀστέα βραχύνεται κάτω τοῦ ὀλισθήματος· καὶ σάρκες μινύθους τἀναντία μάλιστα, ἢ ὡς τὸ ἔκπτωμα· ηὐξημένῳ δὲ τὰ ὀστέα μένει.

[19] The symptoms of dislocation of the finger are obvious, and need not be described. This is the mode of reduction:—By stretching in a straight line, and making pressure on the projecting part, and counter-pressure, at the opposite side, on the other. The proper treatment consists in the application of bandages. When not reduced, the parts unite by callus outside of the joints. In congenital dislocations, and in those which occur during bones below the dislocation are shortened, and the flesh is wasted principally on the side opposite to the dislocation; in the adult the bones remain of their proper size.
