    abstract = "Galen of Pergamum (129-216/217 AD), an important Greek physician, influenced the history of medicine for more than 1400 years. However, Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564), after performing dissections of human cadavers, remarked that Galen made several mistakes due to the fact that his dissections were on animals, particularly on apes. The current study summarizes the main points in which Vesalius criticized Galen in terms of the musculoskeletal anatomy. © 2018, © 2018 The Royal Belgian Society for Surgery."
