Статья 2. Боли в этих органах, §3. Боли в суставах и то, что является общим для подагры, воспаления седалищного нерва и тому подобного (332a).

Материя при воспалении седалищного нерва чаще всего пребывает в суставе и просачивается из него в широкий нерв; когда [нерв] испытывает боль, это предрасполагает его к [приему других] соков, изливающихся к нему сверху из всего тела, кроме тех, которые были заперты вначале. А бывает и так, что материя [первоначально] находится не в суставе, а в широком нерве. Зачастую слизистая жидкость умножается в «шкатулке» и расслабляет связку между отростком и «шкатулкой», и происходит вывих бедра. А предварительно наступает состояние, [среднее] между сочленением и вывихом, то есть, когда [головка] быстро выходит и быстро возвращается и очень неустойчива. (translated from Arabic by П.Г. Булгакова, М.А. Салье; source: 1980Абу Али ибн Син, p. 502.)

Canon of Medicine. Book 3. Volume 2. Part 22. Diseases of the external and terminal organs.

Article 2. Pains in these organs, §3. Pains in the joints and what is common to gout, sciatica, and the like (332a).

The matter in sciatica most often resides in the joint and leaks from it into the broad nerve; when [the nerve] experiences pain, this predisposes it to [receive other] juices that flow to it from above from the whole body, in addition to those that were initially locked up. And it also happens that the matter [initially] is not in the joint, but in the broad nerve. Often the mucous fluid multiplies in the "box" and relaxes the ligament between the process and the "box", and a dislocation of the hip occurs. And before that, there comes a state [middle] between articulation and dislocation, that is, when [the head] quickly comes out and quickly returns and is very unstable. (translated from Russian, source: 1980Абу Али ибн Сина, p. 502.)

22cent.bcBaqetI

Groups of wrestlers are depicted on the walls of tomb BH29, belonging to Baqet I – a contemporary of the pharaohs of the early 11th Dynasty (frescoes, Beni Hasan, Egypt). The images show wrestling scenes and the circumstances under which injuries to the hip joint – including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) – might occur. These frescoes appear to have served as the basis for the description of a wrestling match found in the Book of Genesis:   25 And Ja cob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.  26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him. … 33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.
