ἔστι δ᾽ οἷσι κατήγνυται τοῦ πήχεος τὸ ὀστέον τὸ ὁποτεταγμένον τῷ βραχίονι, ὁτὲ μὲν τὸ χονδρῶδες αὐτοῦ ἀφ᾽ οὗ πέφυκεν ὁ τένων ὁ ὄπισθεν τοῦ βραχίονος: [ὁτὲ δὲ τὰ πρόσω κατὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ἐκφύσεως τοῦ προσθίου κορωνοῦ:] καὶ ἐπὴν τοῦτο κινηθῇ, πυρετῶδες καὶ κακόηθες γίνεται: τὸ μέντοι ἄρθρον μένει ἐν τῇ ἑωυτοῦ χώρῃ: πᾶσα γὰρ ἡ βάσις αὐτέου ταύτῃ ὑπερέχει.

ὅταν δὲ ἀπαγῇ ταύτῃ ᾗ ὑπερέχει ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ βραχίονος, πλανωδέστερον τὸ ἄρθρον γίνεται, ἢν παντάπασιν ἀποκαυλισθῇ.

ἀσινέστερα δὲ, ὡς ἐν κεφαλαίῳ εἰρῆσθαι, πάντα τὰ κατηγνύμενα τῶν ὀστέων ἐστὶν, ἢ οἷσι τὰ μὲν ὀστέα οὐ κατάγνυται, φλέβες δὲ καὶ νεῦρα ἐπίκαιρα ἀμφιφλᾶται ἐν τούτοισι τοῖσι χωρίοισιν: ἐγγυτέρω γὰρ θανάτου πελάζει ταῦτα ἢ ἐκεῖνα, ἢν ἐκπυρωθῇ ξυνεχεῖ πυρετῷ: ὀλίγα γε μὴν τὰ τοιαῦτα κατήγματα γίνεται.
