Dislocation of the heel joint at the talus

It is not uncommon for the talus to dislocate, and when it dislocates, it is necessary to get it back by pulling it hard, treating it hard, and pushing it hard. Then you should avoid walking for about forty days so that it does not dislocate a second time. As for slight displacement, then it is enough to pull it a little, and it will be reduced, and with a complete dislocation, if it is strong and the bone cannot be set, you should act as the ancients say, and they say you should put the patient on the ground with his face down and drive in the place between the thighs, near the stomach, a long strong stake, going deep into the ground, which will not allow his body to move when the leg is pulled down; it is even appropriate to drive this stake in before the patient lies down. If you have a large board at hand, then stretching should be done on this board. At the same time, one assistant should hold and stretch the thigh, and the other should pull the leg in the direction opposite to the extension of the first assistant - either with his hands or by using a rope, the doctor at this time reduces the dislocation, and another assistant holds the other leg down. After reduction, strong bandages should be applied so that some bandages go to the pelvis, and others to the talus bone, and tie them there. It is also appropriate to protect the nerve located above the heel at the back, so as not to pull it too hard with a bandage, and not allow the patient to walk for forty days, because if such patients try to walk until they are completely recovered, the bones will separate and the treatment will be ineffective.

If the heel bone is displaced from a jump - and this often happens - and a hot tumor forms in this place, then the damaged organ should be set by placing the patient prone on the ground, stretching and straightening the bone, using irrigations that soothe the hot tumors, and making reliable bandages the patient should remain calm and not move until the leg is completely recovered, and the talus bone should be bandaged right up to the toes, leaving the heel open.
