PURPOSE To highlight the most relevant contributions of the Italian Renaissance surgeon Girolamo Fabrizi d'Acquapendente in the field of orthopaedics and traumatology. METHODS An extensive research on the life and achievements of Girolamo Fabrizi was conducted on University Libraries as well as on electronic databases like PubMed. RESULTS Girolamo Fabrizi d'Acquapendente is known for his embryology and physiology studies, particularly on sensory organs and blood circulation. He founded the world's first permanent anatomical theater established at the University of Padua and inaugurated in 1595. His most notable publications include surgical and definitely orthopedics works such as "De fracturis" (On fractures) and "De luxationibus" (On joint displacement). He outlined some principles of treatment that are still valid nowadays such as anatomical reduction and stabilization of the fracture, that were applied using the equipment available at that time. He described and illustrated maneuvers and instruments, such as pulleys, winches, splint, and bandages. He further depicted the famous "Oplomochlion" ("the armored man"), which is actually a collection of all of the braces used at the time to correct congenital and post-traumatic deformities. CONCLUSION Bracing and prosthetic replacements have accompanied medical history throughout the centuries, from Ancient Egypt to the present, but it was the ingenuity of Renaissance surgeons that pushed biomedical technology to new heights: Girolamo Fabrizi d'Acquapendente was one of the most illustrious contributors to these great achievements.

文艺复兴时期的钢铁侠：Girolamo Fabrizi d'Acquapendente的贡献。

目的重点介绍意大利文艺复兴时期的外科医生Girolamo Fabrizi d'Acquapendente在骨科和创伤学领域的最重要贡献。方法在大学图书馆以及电子数据库（如PubMed）上，对Girolamo Fabrizi的生活和成就进行了广泛的研究。结果Girolamo Fabrizi d'Acquapendente因其胚胎学和生理学研究而闻名，尤其是在感觉器官和血液循环方面。他在帕多瓦大学建立了世界上第一个永久性解​​剖学剧院，并于1595年开幕。他最著名的出版物包括外科手术和绝对的骨科著作，例如“ De fracturis”（关于骨折）和“ De luxationibus”（关于关节置换）。他概述了当今仍然有效的一些治疗原理，例如解剖复位和稳定骨折，这些当时使用的是当时可用的设备。他描述并举例说明了操纵和工具，例如滑轮，绞车，夹板和绷带。他还描绘了著名的“ Oplomochlion”（“装甲兵”），实际上是当时用于矫正先天性和创伤后畸形的所有牙套的集合。结论从古埃及到现在，​​支撑和修复假体一直伴随着整个世纪的医学历史，但是正是文艺复兴时期的外科医生的独创性将生物医学技术推向了新的高度：Girolamo Fabrizi d'
