Antik Çağ Cerrahi Dikişinde Fibula Kullanımı
Abstract
Since John Milne, after studying ancient sources on medicine referring to the use of fibula in suture, first researched the ancient medical instruments in the 20th century many researchers have addressed the issue. These researchers have occasionally questioned what and how should the referred fibula be, or reasoned about its type, but they generally didn’t go deep in their questioning since the semicircular, safety-pin functioned of Phrygian Type fibulas were ready to occupy the mind. An example of this unquestioning mind can be observed particularly in displays of ancient medical implements in museums in Turkey where tools with an obvious disregard to the chronological difference of a thousand years in between. The objective of this study is to question the material cultural entity and as a result, to make some definitions and assessments as well as to create an understanding on what the term fibula meant in ancient medical texts and their interpretations.
