Abstract
In Lessons on the Principles of Surgery, published in France in 1766, J. Hunter [384] seems effectively to have been the first to draw attention to the distant effects of joint trauma, particularly effects on muscles. He said that it is worth noting that lesions of tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, etc., especially those that take the form of a ligamentous strain, have a sympathetic effect on the muscles, which atrophy and lose their power.
