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

Homo ergaster

  HOMO ERGASTER The Homo ergaster species lived in Africa 1.8 million years ago and was alive until 600,000 years ago, likely becoming the ancestor of Homo erectus in Asia, Homo neanderthalensis in Europe, and Homo sapiens in Africa (1995CachelS_HarrisJ; 2005KleinR). Homo ergaster is occasionally equated with Homo erectus in publications (2013TattersallI). The most complete Homo ergaster skeleton belongs to an adolescent named "Turkana Boy" (KNM-WT 15000). The young man was between 8 and 12 years old (2010GravesRR_CunninghamDL; 2019BergmanJ). The age of this individual's remains is believed to be 1.6 million years (2007TattersallI). Turkana Boy (reconstruction) Author: Mettmann Neanderthal Museum; source:  wikimedia.org  collection (license CC BY-SA 4.0, no changes). The pelvis of specimen KNM-WT 15000 is well preserved. It shows ossified acetabulums. In turn, they have spacious acetabular fossae and wide acetabular notches. Based on these elements, it is possible to conc...

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 13

  Short retelling of chapter 13 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 13. PROPHETIC DREAMS After his wanderings and battles, Abraham settles in “Mamre’s oaks in Hebron.” Following these events, he experiences a divine “word in a vision” and a dream promising him lands “from Egypt’s river to the great river, Euphrates.” His family relocates to a desert along the Shur road, near the well “Beer-Lahai-Roi,” between Kadesh and Bered. In another divine appearance, Abraham is commanded to circumcise all males’ foreskins, rename Sarai as Sarah, and is told he’ll father a child at 100, despite Sarah’s barrenness at 89. That day, Abraham circumcises his son Ishmael, household males, and, at 99, himself. In Mamre’s oaks, during “daytime heat,” a mirage foretells fatherhood. The dream shifts, showing Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction and Lot’s miraculous rescue. ...

Perthes disease. Pathogenesis

  An original view on the pathogenesis of Perthes' disease (femoral head osteochondropathy, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease). By the onset of Perthes disease, the hip joint is generally formed, and the femoral head and acetabulum represent bone structures. From our perspective, the initiating factor is trauma, specifically, damage to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). This can be its rupture (most commonly), detachment from its attachment point, or irreversible plastic elongation. In other words, the amount of mechanical energy acting on the LCF, at a certain moment, exceeds the amount that it can absorb. Another option is possible when individual LCF fibers are damaged. Bioeffective stresses arise and increase in it, inducing biological processes that transform the LCF ( for more details, see the  Law of Bioinduction ) . As a result, it is either permanently damaged or significantly lengthened. Due to damage or uncompensated lengthening of the LCF, the statics and dynamics of...
