Sentences with MALLEOLI (5)
The _Charroy_, which surrounded the _Ost_, is a word familiar to the readers of Froissard, or Comines.] 81 (return) [ Statim ut accensi malleoli.
Splint-pressure sores are usually situated over bony prominences, such as the malleoli, the condyles of the femur or humerus, the head of the fibula, the dorsum of the foot, or the base of the fifth metatarsal bone.
Fractures of the bony processes surrounding the elbow-joint, and of the malleoli of the tibia and fibula, were not infrequent, but offered no special features.
The lower ends of the tibia and fibula are then to be isolated from the soft parts, and a thin slice, including both malleoli, to be removed.
Hippocrates says,--"Complete resections of bones in the neighbourhood of joints both in the foot, in the hand, in the tibia up to the malleoli, and in the ulna at its junction with the hand, and in many other places, are safe operations, if that fatal syncope does not at once occur, and continued fever does not attack the patient on the fourth day." Celsus and Ægineta both advise the removal of protruding ends of bone in compound dislocations, but without giving any cases.
