CHAP. LII. Of the Leg-bone or greater Focile dislocated and divided from the Pastern-bone.
* 1.1ALso the Leg-bone is sometimes dislocated and divided from the Pastern-bone, as well inwardly, as outwardly; which may be known by the swelling out of the bone to this or that part; if it be onely a subluxation or strain, it may be easily restored by gently forcing it into the place again. After the bone shall be restored, it shall be kept so by compresses and fit deligation, by cross and contrary binding to the side op∣posite to that towards which the bone fell, that so also in some measure it may be more and more forced into its place. In the mean time you must have a care that you do not too straitly press the great and large tendon which is at the heel. This kinde of dislocation is restored in forty days, unless some accident happen which may hinder it.
