Regina Dal Cin

Regina Dal Cin (4 April 1819 – 15 August 1897) was an Italian osteopath, who practiced the recomposition of femoral dislocations.

Regina never went to school and devoted much of her time to improving her bone-setting techniques, learned from her mother.

[3] At the age of 9, she started her career as a bone-setter by replacing her mother, who had broken her leg in a buggy accident.

[4] At the invitation, she visited Venice, Vienna and Turin where she reconstructed the dislocated femurs, and treated even more serious cases at the local civic hospitals.

[3] A Street in front of Palazzo Regina Dal Cin and a primary school were named after her by the municipality of Cappella Maggiore.
