GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

 

The goal of the project: maintaining normal gait and quality of life, helping to study the mechanics of the hip joint, as well as in developing effective methods for treating its diseases and injuries.

Project tasks:

✔ Search, deposit, systematize, analyze, and synthesize of knowledge about the ligament of the head of femur - ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF);

✔ Popularization of research about LCF and their authors;

✔ Constructive discussion of publications about LCF;

✔ Creation of the doctrine on LCF in both normal and pathological conditions;

✔ Clarification of the biomechanics of the hip joint, taking into account LCF;

 Elucidation of the role of LCF in the pathogenesis of hip diseases;

 Support for innovators developing methods for LCF reconstruction;

✔ Contribute to the design of hip joint endoprostheses with analogs of ligaments, including LCF.

According to our concept, the project will enhance the understanding of the mechanics and physiology of the hip joint, as well as human and animal locomotions, including extinct species. This, along with improved diagnostics, will improve the prevention of hip diseases and prolong natural motor activity. Novel methods for LCF reconstruction and prosthetics entail the creation of original instruments and high-tech devices. We envision an expansion of the list of innovative products, including fixators for osteosynthesis that can be combined with LCF endoprostheses.

With sincere respect to you,

Цель проекта: сохранение нормальной походки и качества жизни, помощь в изучении механики тазобедренного сустава, разработке эффективных способов лечения его болезней и травм.

Задачи проекта:

- поиск, депонирование, систематизация, анализ и синтез знаний о связке головки бедра - ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF);

- популяризация работ о LCF и их авторов; 

- конструктивное обсуждение публикаций о LCF;

- создание Учения о LCF в норме и патологии;

- уточнение биомеханики тазобедренного сустава с учетом LCF;

- выяснение роли LCF в патогенезе заболеваний тазобедренного сустава;

- помощь в совершенствовании диагностики патологии LCF;

- поддержка новаторов, разрабатывающих способы реконструкция LCF;

- содействие конструированию эндопротезов тазобедренного сустава с аналогами связок, включая LCF. 

По нашему замыслу, проект позволит улучшить понимание механики и физиологии тазобедренного сустава, а также локомоций человека и животных, включая вымерших видов. Это, наряду с усовершенствованием диагностики, улучшит профилактику болезней тазобедренного сустава, продлит естественную двигательную активность. Новые методики реконструкции LCF и протезирования влекут за собой создание оригинальных инструментов и высокотехнологичных устройств. Расширение перечня инновационных продуктов нам видится и в области фиксаторов для остеосинтеза, которые могут совмещаться с эндопротезами LCF.
