Ὁκόσοισι δ᾽ἂν ἐς τὸ ἔξω ἡ τοῦ μηροῦ κεφαλὴ ἐκβῇ, τούτοισι βραχύτερον μὲν τὸ σκέλος φαίνεται παρατεινόμενον παρὰ τὸ ἕτερον: εἰκότως: οὐ γὰρ ἐπ᾽ ὀστέον ἡ ἐπίβασις τῆς κεφαλῆς τοῦ μηροῦ ἐστιν, ὡς ὅτε ἔσω ἐκπέπτωκεν, ἀλλὰ παρ᾽ ὀστέον παρεγκεκλιμένην τὴν φύσιν ἔχον, ἐν σαρκὶ δὲ στηρίζεται ὑγρῇ καὶ ὑπεικούσῃ: διὰ τοῦτο μὲν βραχύτερον φαίνεται.

ἔσωθεν δὲ ὁ μηρὸς παρὰ τὴν πλιχάδα καλεομένην κοιλότερος καὶ ἀσαρκότερος φαίνεται: ἔξωθεν δὲ ὁ γλουτὸς ὑποκυρτότερος, ἅτε ἐς τὸ ἔξω τῆς κεφαλῆς τοῦ μηροῦ ὠλισθηκυίης: ἀτὰρ καὶ ἀνωτέρω φαίνεται ὁ γλουτὸς, ἅτε ὑπειξάσης τῆς σαρκὸς τῆς ἐνταῦθα τῇ τοῦ μηροῦ κεφαλῇ: τὸ δὲ παρὰ τὸ γόνυ τοῦ μηροῦ ἄκρον ἔσω Ρ῾έπον φαίνεται, καὶ ἡ κνήμη, καὶ ὁ πούς: ἀτὰρ οὐδὲ ξυγκάμπτειν ὥσπερ τὸ ὑγιὲς σκέλος δύνανται.

τὰ μὲν οὖν σημήϊα ταῦτα τοῦ ἔξω ἐκπεπτωκότος μηροῦ εἰσιν.
