  thigh is shortened; the leg less so; and the others according to the
  same rule; the fleshy parts are atrophied; especially on the
  outside。 Such persons are afraid to stand erect; and crawl along on
  the sound limb; or; if compelled; they walk with one or two staves;
  and bear up the affected limb; and the smaller the limb so much the
  more do they walk。 If the accident happens to adults the bones
  remain of their proper size; but the flesh is wasted; as formerly
  described; the patients walk in a wriggling manner; like oxen; they
  are bent toward the flank; and the buttock on the uninjured side is
  prominent; for the uninjured limb must necessarily come below that
  it may support the body; whilst the other must be carried out of the
  way; as it cannot support the body; like those who have an ulcer in
  the foot。 They poise the body by means of a staff on the sound side;
  and grasp the affected limb with the hand above the knee so as to
  carry the body in shifting from one place to another。 If the parts
  below the hip…joint be used; the bones below are less atrophied; but
  the flesh more。
  Part 21
  The symptoms and attitudes in dislocation outward are the
  opposite; and the knee and foot incline a little inward。 When it is
  congenital; or occurs during adolescence; the bones do not grow
  properly; according to the same rule; the bone of the hip…joint is
  somewhat higher than natural; and does not grow proportionally。 In
  those who have frequent dislocations outward; without inflammation;
  the limb is of a more humid (flabby?) temperament than natural; like
  the thumb; for it is the part most frequently dislocated;
  owing to its
  configuration; in what persons the dislocation is to a
  greater or less
  extent; and in what persons it is more difficultly or easily
  produced;
  in what there is reason to hope that it can be speedily reduced; and
  in what not; and the remedy for this; and in what cases the
  dislocation frequently happens; and treatment of this。 In
  dislocation outward from birth; or during adolescence; or from
  disease; (and it happens most frequently from disease; in which case
  there is sometimes exfoliation of the bone; but even where
  there is no
  exfoliation); the patients experience the same symptoms; but to an
  inferior degree to those in dislocations inward; if properly managed
  so that in walking they can put the whole foot to the ground and
  lean to either side。 The younger the patient is; the greater care
  should be bestowed on him; when neglected; the case gets worse; when
  attended to; it improves; and; although there be atrophy in all
  parts of the limb; it is to a less extent。
  Part 22
  When there is a dislocation on both sides; the affections of the
  bones are the same; the flesh is well developed; except within; the
  nates protrude; the thighs are arched; unless there be sphacelus。 If
  there be curvature of the spine above the hip…joint; the patients
  enjoy good health; but the body does not grow; with the exception of
  the head。
  Part 23
  The symptoms of dislocation backward are:…The parts before
  more empty; behind they protrude; the foot straight; flexion
  impossible; except with pain; extension least of all: in these the
  limb is shortened。 They can neither extend the limb at the
  ham; nor at
  the groin; unless it be much raised; nor can they bend it。 The
  uppermost joint; in most cases; takes the lead: this is common in
  joints; nerves; muscles; intestines; uteri; and other parts。
  There the
  bone of the hip…joint is carried backward to the nates; and on that
  account it is shortened; and because the patient cannot
  extend it。 The
  flesh of the whole leg is wasted in all cases; in which most; and to
  what extent; has been already stated。 Every part of the body which
  performs its functional work is strong; but; not withstanding; if
  inactive; it gets into a bad condition; unless its inactivity arise
  from fatigue; fever; or inflammation。 And in dislocations
  outward; the
  limb is shortened; because the bone is lodged in flesh which yields;
  but; not withstanding; in dislocations inward; it is longer; because
  the bone is lodged on a projecting bone。 Adults; then; who have this
  dislocation unreduced; are bent at the groins in walking; and the
  other ham is flexed; they scarcely reach the ground with the ball of
  the foot; they grasp the limb with the hand; and walk without a
  staff if they choose; if the staff be too long; their foot cannot
  reach the grounds…if they wish to reach the ground; they must use a
  short staff。 There is wasting of the flesh in cases attended with
  pain; and the inclination of the leg is forward; and the sound leg
  in proportion。 In congenital cases; or when in adolescence; or from
  disease; the bone is dislocated (under what circumstances will be
  explained afterward); the limb is particularly impaired; owing to
  the nerves and joints not being exercised; and the knee is impaired
  for the reasons stated。 These persons; keeping the limb bent; walk
  with one staff or two。 But the sound limb is in good flesh
  from usage。
  Part 24
  In dislocations forward the symptoms are the opposite: a vacuity
  behind; a protuberance before; of all motions they can least perform
  flexion; and extension best; the foot is straight; the limb is of
  the proper length at the heel; at its extremity the foot a little
  turned up; they are especially pained at first: of all these
  dislocations retention of urine occurs most frequently in this
  variety; because the bone is lodged among important nerves。 The fore
  parts are stretched; do not grow; are diseased; and are obnoxious to
  premature decay; the back parts are wrinkled。 In the case of adults;
  they walk erect; resting merely on the heel; and this they do
  decidedly if they can take great steps; but they drag it along; the
  wasting is least of all in this variety of dislocation;
  owing to their
  being able to use the limb; but the wasting is most behind。 The
  whole limb being straighter than natural they stand in need
  of a staff
  on the affected side。 When the dislocation is congenital; or has
  occurred during adolescence; if properly managed; the patient has
  the use of the limb as well as adults (otherwise?) have of
  it。 But; if
  neglected; it is shortened and extended; for in such cases the joint
  is generally in a straight position。 The diminution of the bones;
  and wasting of the fleshy parts; are analogous。
  Part 25
  In reduction…the extension of the thigh is to be powerful; and
  the adjustment what is common in all such cases; with the hands; or
  a board; or a lever; which; in dislocations inward; should be round;
  and in dislocations outward; flat; but it is mostly applicable in
  dislocations outward。 Dislocations inward are to be remedied by
  means of bladders; extending to the bare part of the thigh;
  along with
  extension and binding together of the limbs。 The patient may be
  suspended; with his feet a little separated from one
  another; and then
  a person inserting his arm within the affected limb; is to suspend
  himself from it; and perform extension and readjustment at the same
  time; and this method is sufficient in dislocations forward and the
  others; but least of all in dislocations backward。 A board fastened
  under the limb; like the board fastened below the arm in
  dislocations at the shoulder; answers in dislocations
  inward; but less
  so in the other varieties。 Along with extension you will use
  pressure either with the foot; the hand; or a board; especially in
  dislocations forward and backward。
  Part 26
  Dislocations at the knee are of a milder character than those of
  the elbow; owing to the compactness and regularity of the joint; and
  hence it is more readily dislocated and reduced。 Dislocation
  generally
  takes place inward; but also outward and backward。 The methods of
  reduction are…by circumflexion; or by rapid excalcitration; or by
  rolling a fillet into a ball; placing it in the ham; and then
  letting the patient's body suddenly drop down on his knees: this
  mode applies best in dislocations backward。 Dislocations backward;
  like those of the elbows; may also be reduced by moderate extension。
  Lateral dislocations may be reduced by circumflexion or
  excalcitration; or by extension (but this is most applicable in
  dislocation backward); but also by moderate extension。 The
  adjustment is what is common in all。 If not reduced; in dislocations
  backward; they cannot bend the leg and thigh upon one another; but
  neither can they do this in the others except to a small extent; and
  the fore parts of the thigh and leg are wasted。 In
  dislocations inward
  they are bandy…legged; and the external parts are atrophied。 But; in
  dislocations outward; they incline more outward; but are less lame;
  for the body is supported on the thicker bone; and the inner
  parts are
  wasted。 The consequences of a congenital dislocation; or one
  occurring
  during adolescence; are analogous to the rule formerly laid down。
  Part 27
  Dislocations at the ankle…joint require strong extension; either
  with the hands or some such means; and adjustment; which at the same
  time effects both acts; this is common in all cases。
  Part 28
  Dislocations of the bones of the foot are to be treated like
  those of the hand。
