BLOG MOTTO

 

The ligament of the head of femur, called ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in Latin, is the most controversial and least studied anatomical structure in vertebrates. The authoritative Russian biomechanist Professor D.V. Skvortsov noted that its “function is not obvious,” and it is all the more interesting to find out what its significance and why it is so difficult to treat the developed changes. The author has dedicated over three decades to studying and contemplating LCF. The Blogger platform has provided a convenient avenue to share accumulated information and thoughts.

The motto of the project: “By collecting all available knowledge about the femoral head ligament, we are clarifying its role.”

A clear understanding of the significance and functioning of LCF will enable the development of new effective technologies, quality services and improved implants, as well as decipher the pathogenesis of a number of hip diseases. We expect that this will improve the results of treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of hip pathology, preserve mobility, and improve the quality of life for people and pets. According to our plan, the blog will contribute to the acquisition of new knowledge, and will serve as an information foundation for further research in the field of medicine, veterinary medicine, biology, paleontology, and robotics.

Our resource will provide up-to-date information about LCF to specialists who, by the nature of their work, “come into contact” with hip joints. The project is addressed to professional scientists, teachers, physicians, veterinarians, biomechanists, biologists, morphologists, paleontologists, anthropologists, sports trainers and roboticists. For students, a blog will help broaden their horizons, assist in deciding on a specialization, and for some, choose a path in life.

With sincere respect to you,

Sergey Arkhipov

Original text:

Связка головки бедренной кости, на латыни именуемая ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), – наименее изученная и пока самая противоречивая анатомическая структура позвоночных. Авторитетный российский биомеханик профессор Д. В. Скворцов отметил, что ее «функция неочевидна», и тем интереснее узнать, зачем она нужна, как возникла, почему столь затруднительно лечение развившихся изменений. Автор изучал и размышлял о LCF свыше трех десятилетий. Платформа Blogger предоставила удобную возможность поделиться накопленной информацией и мыслями.

Девиз проекта: «Собирая все доступные знания о связке головки бедра, уточнять значение».

Ясное понимание роли и функционирования LCF позволит: разработать новые эффективные технологии, совершенные продукты и качественные услуги, а также расшифровать патогенез ряда заболеваний тазобедренного сустава. Мы ожидаем, что это улучшит результаты лечения, диагностики и профилактики патологии тазобедренного сустава, сохранит мобильность, повысит качество жизни людей и домашних животных. По нашему замыслу, блог поспособствует обретению нового знания, создав информационный фундамент дальнейших исследований в области медицины, ветеринарии, биологии, палеонтологии, робототехники. Наш ресурс будет снабжать актуальными сведениями о LCF специалистов, которые по роду своей деятельности «соприкасаются» с тазобедренными суставами. Проект адресован профессиональным ученым, преподавателям, врачам, ветеринарам, биомеханикам, биологам, морфологам, палеонтологам, антропологам, спортивным тренерам и робототехникам. Учащимся блог поможет расширить кругозор, определиться в специализации, а кому-то и в выборе жизненного пути.

1833GerdyPN

  P.N. Gerdy, in his experiment, discovered tensioning of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) during thigh adduction. At the same time, it was noted for the first time that the consequence of LCF tension during hip adduction is a downward and lateral displacement of the femoral head. Normally, this mechanism provides unloading of the upper articular surfaces when supporting one leg (see 1874SavoryWS ). The translation from French was done in collaboration with ChatGPT 3.5.   Gerdy PN. Physiologie médicale, didactique et critique. T. 1. Paris: Librairie de Crochard, 1833.
