EDITORS COMMENTS
Setting a Broken Leg: A Glimpse into 16th Century Medical Ingenuity". This print takes us back to the 16th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of medical treatment during that time. The illustration featured here is from Andreas Vesalius' renowned work, Chirugia magna, printed in Venice in 1569. In this intricate woodcut illustration, we witness an innovative device designed for immobilizing a broken lower leg. With great attention to detail, the artist skillfully captures the process of setting a fractured tibia or fibula using this ancient splinting technique. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of authenticity and nostalgia to this historical depiction. It transports us to an era where medicine was still evolving and doctors relied on inventive methods to aid their patients' recovery. Through binding and immobilization, this ingenious contraption aimed to facilitate proper healing by ensuring minimal movement of the injured limb. This image serves as a testament to human resilience and our relentless pursuit of finding solutions even centuries ago. Todd-White Art Photography has beautifully captured this significant piece of medical history through their lens. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let it remind us how far we have come in modern medicine while appreciating the ingenuity displayed by our predecessors in their quest for healing.
