The purpose of this study was to summarise the life and work of the Cypriot physician Apollonius of Citium (first century BC). His overall work on medicine is presented, and special emphasis is given to his work on the treatment of joint dislocations. The most famous work of Apollonius is Treatise On Joints, which was preserved on the whole in a manuscript of the tenth century AD. In that manuscript, Apollonius is obviously influenced by the Hippocratic Corpus of Medicine. His description, diagnostic methods and reduction techniques are all based on those described by Hippocrates in his work "On Joints". Apollonius' contribution to this subject concerns accurate depiction in images of the reduction techniques he proposes. His simplifications describe the techniques of Hippocrates in a way they can be understood and used by athletes and nonphysicians in the Greek gymnasia. Perhaps his treatise is one of the earliest works of popularised medicine and surgery in the history of human civilisation.
本研究的目的是总结塞浦路斯医生昔兰尼的阿波罗尼奥斯（公元前一世纪）的生平与著作。文中展示了他在医学方面的整体著作，并特别强调了他在关节脱位治疗方面的著作。阿波罗尼奥斯最著名的作品是《论关节》，该书整体保存在公元十世纪的一份手稿中。在那份手稿中，阿波罗尼奥斯显然受到了《希波克拉底医学文集》的影响。他的描述、诊断方法和复位技术均基于希波克拉底在其著作《论关节》中所描述的内容。阿波罗尼奥斯对该主题的贡献在于他对所提出的复位技术进行了精确的图像描绘。他的简化内容以一种运动员和希腊体育馆中的非专业医生能够理解和运用的方式描述了希波克拉底的技术。或许他的论文是人类文明史上最早的医学与外科学普及著作之一。
