Health Medical Homework Help

The Muscular and Skeletal Systems literally do the heavy lifting in the body. They keep the body organized, so to speak, vertically or horizontally. They receive a lot of wear-and-tear regardless if we sit, stand, walk, or exert all day long. Injuries to them are common and their treatments are some of the oldest recorded in medical writing from the Egyptian medical papyri to the Hippocratic medical treatises and beyond. In this week’s discussion, we will take a comparative look at the treatment for ankle dislocation and surrounding tendon inflammation. Read chapters X–XI from the Hippocratic treatise On Fractures and the patient’s history on p.149 of the textbook. What are the elements of the modern treatment of the condition in the Hippocratic treatment protocol? How do you think the orthopedists in antiquity compensated for the lack of x-rays and MRI imaging and still got thing right in healing bone fractures and sprains?
