Volume III of his works, especially \u201cOn Fractures\u201d, \u201cOn Joints\u201d, and \u201cMochlicon\u201d includes a plethora of information regarding the management of traumas, as well as other disorders and clinical entities of the musculoskeletal system.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In particular, Hippocrates describes reduction techniques for fractures, as well as joint dislocations, elaborates on the biology of the fractures\u2019 healing process and the basic principles of fracture management and fixation, presents the signs and symptoms of gangrene, teaches the treatment of osseous infections and offers valuable insight on the biomechanics and treatment of spinal diseases.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Hippocrates\u2019 contributions in Orthopaedics and Traumatology are unprecedented, making him a true pioneer in this field, while the basic principles that he presented were further studied and confirmed in the 19\n th<\/jats:sup>\n and 20\n th<\/jats:sup>\n centuries.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15533506231217616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,18]],"date-time":"2023-11-18T09:49:05Z","timestamp":1700300945000},"page":"123-127","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Hippocrates: A Pioneer in Orthopaedics and Traumatology"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1398-9626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christos","family":"Koutserimpas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, \u201c251\u201d Hellenic Air Force General Hospital of Athens, Athens, Greece"},{"name":"Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Symeon","family":"Naoum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, \u201c251\u201d Hellenic Air Force General Hospital of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Piagkou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kalliopi","family":"Alpantaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, \u201cVenizeleion\u201d General Hospital of Heraklion, Heraklion, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Samonis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Crete, Heraklion, Greece"},{"name":"First Department of Medical Oncology, \u201cMetropolitan\u201d Hospital, Neon Faliron, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12672"},{"key":"bibr2-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1871530320666200508113728"},{"key":"bibr3-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2018.27.10.659"},{"key":"bibr4-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.26574\/maedica.2020.16.4.700"},{"key":"bibr5-15533506231217616","first-page":"6","volume":"7","author":"Kleisiaris CF","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Med Ethics Hist Med"},{"key":"bibr6-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-200207000-00003","volume":"400","author":"Hippocrates","year":"2002","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"bibr7-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/08941939.2013.780932"},{"key":"bibr8-15533506231217616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2298\/VSP150212131S"},{"key":"bibr9-15533506231217616","volume-title":"Hippocrates.
