Setting fractures and dislocations (al-jabr wal-kasr)

Ibn Sina devotes the fifth fann of Book IV of the Canon to bone-setting, in three treatises: dislocation and what goes with it, general principles of fracture, and fractures of each part of the body from the skull to the toes. He defines dislocation as the departure of a bone from its natural place, and fracture as the break in continuity that is peculiar to bone. For him setting rests on traction in due measure, then aligning the two bone ends, then pads, bandages and splints, with continued attention until the callus forms.
