Quote in Greek from the treatise «Mochlicus» (Instruments of Reductions) by Hippocrates of Cos (born 460 BCE) mentioning  ligamentum capitis femoris ( LCF ). The Greek text was edited and translated into French by Emile LittréÉ.

  The first mention of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in a scientific text is found in the treatise «Mochlicus» ( Instruments of Reductions ), highly likely authored by Hippocrates of Kos (born 460 BCE). The classical translation of this work into English was performed by the surgeon Francis Adams. In the translation of Hippocrates’ text, LCF is called «ligament». We bring to your attention a quote and a brief commentary by the translator:   Selected quote mentioning LCF MOCHLICUS, pp. 161-163 1. With regard to the construction of bones, the bones and joints of the fingers are simple, the bones of the hand and foot are numerous, and articulated in various ways ; the uppermost are the largest ; the heel consists of one bone which is seen to project outwards, and the back tendons are attached to it. The leg consists of two bones, united together above and below, but slightly separated in the middle; the external bone (fibula), where it comes into proximity with the little toe

   Version : 20240228 Reports on neoplasms of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) are scarce. Among them, we can distinguish malignant and benign neoplasms. We categorized xanthomas and synovial cysts as distinct types of pathological alterations in tissues closely tumors. Primary of the LCF tumors are possible from various types of connective tissue and theoretically from nervous tissue. Neoplasms of the ligament can also be the result of metastasis and infiltration. Classification of Neoplasms of the LCF (Vers. 2.1.0) 1. Primary malignant tumors     Malignant chondroma 2. Primary benign tumors     Tenosynovial giant cell tumor     Pigmented villonodular synovitis     Synovial chondromatosis      Synovial osteochondroma      Fibromyxoid pseudotumor 3.

The chosen fragment records ancient views on the symptoms, mechanism, and differential diagnosis of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury. The author describes the emotional status, work capacity of the patient, circumstances, time, and place of the injury, as a physician in the modern medical record (Genesis 32:8-33:20). Further in the text, apparently, a pathoanatomical investigation is mentioned, confirming the antemortem diagnosis, place of dissection (Genesis 50:2-3), as well as the location of the burial of embalmed remains (Genesis 50:13). Our comments on chapters 32-33 are presented in the table. The quotes are based on the translation of the Book of Bereshit (Genesis) from Hebrew by Isaac Leeser (1922).
