Girolamo Fabrici d'Acquapendente (1533-1619) was an Italian anatomist, surgeon and physiologist and a protagonist of the scientific revolution of the Renaissance. He made anatomy a scientific discipline and is justly considered a precursor of modern orthopaedics. He invented and used several external corrective devices for the treatment of congenital and acquired deformities of the limbs and spinal column, especially those following tubercular infection and rickets, torticollis, vertebral caries kyphosis, scoliosis, and rachitic deformities of the leg, but also congenital dislocation of the hip and congenital club-foot. He ascribed the pathogenesis of the equinovarus supinated foot to the position taken by the foot of the fetus during intrauterine life. The Oplomochlion, shown in the Operationes chirurgicae and attributed to Fabrici, is actually a collection of very diverse orthotic, prosthetic and surgical metal instruments invented by Fabrici and arranged with a demonstrative purpose and a topographic criterion, as if on an exhibition dummy.
吉罗拉莫·法布里奇奥·阿夸彭登特（1533-1619 年）是一位意大利解剖学家、外科医生和生理学家，也是文艺复兴时期科学革命的代表人物之一。他将解剖学确立为一门科学学科，被誉为现代矫形外科学的先驱。他发明并使用了多种外部矫正装置来治疗四肢和脊柱的先天性和后天性畸形，特别是那些由结核感染和佝偻病、斜颈、脊柱骨结核后凸、脊柱侧凸、佝偻病性腿部畸形引起的畸形，但也包括先天性髋关节脱位和先天性马蹄足。他将马蹄内翻足的发病机制归因于胎儿在子宫内生活时足部的位置。在《外科手术》一书中展示并归功于法布里奇奥的 Oplomochlion，实际上是一系列非常多样化的矫形、假肢和外科金属器械的集合，由法布里奇奥发明，并以展示目的和地形学标准进行排列，就像在展览假人上一样。
