Abstract:
Reports an individual from the eastern part of the cemetery exhibiting evidence of a chronic septic arthritis, secondary to a severe right knee twist-fracture, and bone adaptation in response to altered biochemical loading. This disability had been the subject of remedial medical treatment with copper alloy plates. Their presence, only the fourth such treatment thus far recorded from the medieval period, and the sole example applied to a lower limb, suggests that monastic houses, or those buried at these establishments, and specifically those associated with the Cistercians, had preferential access to medical treatment.
