The apparatus used by the Greeks and Romans in the setting of fractures and the reduction of dislocations

"The Apparatus Used by the Greeks and Romans in the Setting of Fractures and the Reduction of Dislocations" by John Stewart Milne is a historical investigation into the surgical tools and methods used by ancient Greek and Roman physicians to handle broken bones and joint dislocations. The book pulls information primarily from historical texts and writings from people like Hippocrates and Galen, describing the devices, materials, and techniques utilized, offering a detailed look at early medical achievements and a window into how these ancient civilizations understood and treated injuries with things like splints, bandages, and the scamnum, all to understand the human body and try to fix it up.
