Abstract
Background: This research aims to examine the current validity and usage of the information on 'fractures', 'dislocations' and 'sprains' written by Haly Abbas in the medical encyclopedia named Kāmil al-Ṣināʿa al-Ṭibbiyya. Methods: In this qualitative study, the 9th article of the 2nd volume of the encyclopedic medicine book Kāmil al-Ṣināʿa al-Ṭibbiyya, called "Manual Treatment of Diseases" was used. The related article examined sections including fractures, dislocations, and sprains. The information given by Haly Abbas in the relevant sections was analyzed as content and compared with today's literature. Results: Issues related to fractures, dislocations, and sprains, were identified between sections 82-111 of the 9th article (Manual Treatment of Diseases) of the 2nd volume of Kāmil al-Ṣināʿa al-Ṭibbiyya. These topics in the related article are categorized under three main headings in separate titles. The comparison of Haly Abbas's treatment algorithm and recovery durations with today is summarized in tables. Conclusion: Many of the explanations and information about fractures, dislocations, and sprains in Kāmil al-Ṣināʿa al-Ṭibbiyya, written by Haly Abbas in the 10th century, were compatible with his predecessors, shed light on the scientists who grew up after him, and was found to be similar to the treatment methods used today with more advanced facilities.
