CHAP. XXXVI. Of the dislocated bones of the Wrest.
THe wrest consists of eight bones, which cannot unlesse by extraordinary violence bee put or fall out of their places. Yet if they shall at any time fall out, they will shew it by the tumor of the part wherto they are gone, * 1.1 and by the depression of that wherefrom they are fled. They may bee restored, if the diseased hand bee extended upon a table; and if the bones shall be dislocated inwards, the hand shall bee placed with the palme upwards, then the Surgeon shall, with the palme of his hand, presse downe the eminencies of the * 1.2 bones, and force each bone into its place. But if the luxation bee outwards, he shall lay the palme next to the table, and presse it after the same manner. To conclude, if the luxation shall be toward either side, the luxated bones shall be thrust towards the contrary, and the restored bones shall be presently conteined in their places with fit remedies, binding, rowling, and carrying the hand in a scarfe.
