ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

The blog is managed and administered by Sergey Vasilyevich Arkhipov, a candidate of medical sciences, general surgeon, and orthopedic traumatologist (orthopedic surgeon) of the highest qualification, as well as a medical expert.

The author graduated from the State Medical Institute in 1992 (Smolensk, Russia) and defended his dissertation at the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples (Moscow). He studied at the Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (Moscow) and the Russian Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (St. Petersburg). He also had internships at the Hannover Medical School (Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover).

Sergey Arkhipov has experience working in the orthopedic department of a regional clinical hospital, trauma departments of major city medical institutions, a regional burn center, a trauma center, a surgical department of a district hospital, state polyclinics, and private medical clinics. He has been involved in research activities, serving as a practicing physician, department head, deputy chief physician for clinical-expert work, consultant in the field of traumatology and orthopedics, medical expert, and senior researcher at the "Biomechanics and Mechatronics" laboratory (N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University). Sergey Arkhipov worked in the laboratory of "Clinical Physiology and Biomechanics" at the Federal State Budgetary Institution National Medical Research Center named after N.N. Priorov (Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics). Currently, he is an independent scientist.

He has been awarded the Honorary Certificate of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Gratitude of the Mayor of Moscow, certificates of Heads of Administrations, and chief physicians of medical institutions. Sergey Arkhipov was the winner of the regional television contest "Person of the Year – 2004" in the category of "Discovery" and a laureate of the contest "Man – Event – Time." in 2001.

The author created a series of original mechanical models of the human hip joint, designed a quadripedipulatory zoomorphic walking platform, and a prototype of an anthropomorphic walking mechanism. He proposed a family of artificial joints with analogs of ligaments. Sergey Arkhipov refined the concepts of the biomechanics of the hip joint in vertical poses and during walking. He established the role of the ligament of the head of femur, ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), in the pathogenesis of coxarthrosis and formulated a previously unknown general biological regularity – "The Law of Bioinduction". The author suggested a mathematical apparatus for calculating the dynamics of biological processes in living systems.

Sergey Arkhipov the author of six monographs, a dissertation for a candidate of medical sciences, three patents, and eight positive decisions on patent issuance, sixty articles and conference abstracts, forty patent applications. For more accurate positioning in the scientific community, he used the pseudonym S.V. Arkhipov-Baltiysky in some publications.

Scientific interests of the author include: the significance of the LCF for the musculoskeletal system; diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the hip joint; morphomechanics; biomechanics of human and animal locomotion; modeling of joint function; development of artificial joints, and methods of hip ligament repair; biomorphic robotics.

With sincere respect to you,

Sergey Arkhipov

ILIOTIBIAL TRACT & LCF

  ILIOTIBIAL TRACT & LCF There is an opinion that the iliotibial tract, like the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), provides pressing of the acetabulum to the lower surface of the femoral head. I think that this is not true. The tract is located above and lateral to the center of rotation of the hip joint. Its force vector, like the force vector of the abductor group of muscles, presses the acetabulum to the upper part of the femoral head, which increases the load on it. The ligamentum capitis femoris acts in the opposite direction. Below is a diagram for a single-support position. #ligamentum_teres   #hip   #biomechanics   #ligamentum_capitis_femoris Publication in the facebook group 04/12/2025.                                                                              ...

1836WeberW_WeberE

  We present fragments from the book that laid the foundation of biomechanics of the hip joint considering the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The authors experimentally proved that this structure is situated in the frontal plane when the body is in a vertical position. Analysis of observations showed that when standing on one leg, the LCF and the anterior portion of the iliofemoral ligament (pars descendens lig. iliofemoralis) are stretched and hold the pelvis. These ligaments counteract the weight of the body along with the head of the femur on the same side. The insight of the Weber brothers was later developed in the works of H. von Meyer (1856) , W. Turner (1857) , and W. Savory(1874) . Weber W, Weber E. Mechanik der menschlichen Gehwerkzeuge: eine anatomisch-physiologische Untersuchung. Gottingen: Dietrichsche Buchhandlung, 1836.

  A fragment of the Book of Genesis tells about the journey of the family of Patriarch Jacob from Charan to Canaan (Gen. 31:1 – 33:20). The translation into English from of the Masoretic Hebrew text of the Torah was done by Isaac Leeser ( 1922 LeeserI ). «Most scholars agree that the texts now found in Genesis began to be written down sometime after the establishment of the monarchy in Israel in the tenth century BCE» (1992SuggsMJ_MuellerJR). A selected passage from an ancient work mentions for the first time in history the injury of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of a person is mentioned (Gen. 32:26,33). In the original Hebrew source this anatomical element is referred to as «גיד» (gheed, gid)  ( Bereshit 32:33 ;  1923, 2004PreussJ;  2019ArkhipovSV_SkvortsovDV ;  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ).  This term was recorded in writing long before Hippocrates of Kos (V-IV cent. BCE) who used the concept «νεῦρον» to designate LCF (1844LittréÉ). It is not known...
