在公元前五世纪的古希腊骨科前夕,希波克拉底医学院诊断出一系列先天性肢体畸形。先天性手臂脱位,弯头,手腕,臀部,膝盖,胫骨关节,顶点腿,以及talipes外翻(马蹄),先天性锁骨骨折,希波克拉底和他的追随者都讨论过拇指故障。古希腊医学哲学家,喜欢“完美”的人体,提出了一种即时的非干预方法,而古老的矫形器和专门的鞋类建议。希波克拉底方法论在16世纪由AmbroiseParé重新出现,在19世纪由WilhelmRoser重新出现,从此成为先天性畸形对抗的主要原则。直到今天,各种外科医生仍然受到希波克拉底学说的影响。
During the fifth century BC in ancient Greece during the eve of orthopaedics, the Hippocratic School of Medicine diagnosed a series of congenital limb deformities. Congenital dislocation of the arm, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, tarsotibial joint, apex leg, as well as talipes valgus (clubfoot), congenital clavicle fractures, and thumb malfunction were all discussed by Hippocrates and his followers. Ancient Greek medico-philosophers, fond of a \"perfect\" human body, proposed an immediate non-interventional approach, while archaic orthotics and specialized footwear were suggested. The Hippocratic methodology was once more re-emerged in the sixteenth century by Ambroise Paré and in the nineteenth century by Wilhelm Roser, becoming since then the main principle for the confrontation of congenital deformities. Various surgeons until nowadays are still being influenced by the Hippocratic doctrine.
