[Cripples at the medieval hospital of Bátmonostor, Hungary--archeological findings].

Cripples from the medieval hospital of Bátmonostor, Hungary. People with disabilities were generally burdened with a painful fate in ancient times, however in the hospitals was no effective therapy. The hospital of Batmonostor was founded at late 13th century, The authors examine by morphological, radiological and histological methods 426 complete skeletons excavated from medieval (14th-15th century) cemetery of Bátmonostor (Hungary). Among them 30 cases (7.1%) of bony ankylosis, (24 cases on lower limb and 6 cases on upper limb) was found. Sacroiliac ankylosis 3 cases, Bechterew's spondylitis ankylopoetica 1 case was seen. Spondylitis tuberculosa and malum Potti 4 cases, and hunchback with other aetiology 2 cases was detected. Beside the cases with ankylosis severe posttraumatic osteomyelitis (7 cases), primary malignant bone tumors (2 cases) and an osteoplastic metastatic tumors (probably prostata carcinoma) was diagnosed. Paleopathologic study of the physically disabled may yield information and insight on the prevalence of crippling disorders. The authors hypothetize, that crippled persons lived in the hospital until their deaths.
