In the 10th century, the distinguished Byzantine physician and philosopher Theophilus wrote that the ligament of the head of femur, ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), "is created out of God's love for man." It is difficult to add anything to the wise man's statement, as the significance of this structure is indeed exceptionally great for the normal functioning of the hip joint, natural walking, and maintenance of vertical postures.

Like other elements of the human body, the LCF inevitably changes with age and is often injured. Its damage or elongation at the initial stage causes the appearance of pain, lameness and impaired ability to remain in an orthostatic position. In children, femoral head osteochondropathy, congenital hip dysplasia, pathological and congenital dislocation of the hip can develop. In adulthood, changes in LCF lead to severe hip joint diseases: osteoarthritis and aseptic (avascular) necrosis of the femoral head. Problems multiply with the number of years lived. Adjacent joints of the pelvis, spine, and knee joint gradually become affected. The quality of life decreases, limiting social interactions, reducing mobility, and increasing family expenses for treatment.

The disturbance of gait due to LCF injury was first described in the ancient literary monument "Bereshit” (Genesis), dating back to at least the 10th-5th centuries BC. Hippocrates wrote about this anatomical structure in the 5th-4th centuries BC, and later Heracleides of Tarentum, Hegetor, Apollonios of Kition, Rufus of Ephesus, Galen of Pergamon, Oribasius, and Theophilus Protospatharius. Over the past 3.5 millennia, humanity has learned relatively little about LCF. Until now, accurate diagnosis of its pathology and prevention have not been developed, and methods of effective treatment are unknown. The most modern operations for hip replacement do not involve the reconstruction of this structure, and arthroscopic interventions, accompanied by its damage or removal, aggravate the existing problems.

Nowadays, if you begin to limp and experience pain due to LCF pathology, the time for normal functioning of the hip joint is already numbered, its catastrophic change is inevitable. Conservative therapy is mostly palliative. Surgical procedures are, at best, useless, and at worst, crippling. The patients are doomed. Doctors are confused. Their efforts are still futile (02/04/2024).

There is still hope for doctors and patients. We see the need to conduct large-scale experimental and clinical studies, the results of which should become public domain. Our project will help: develop reliable methods for LCF reconstruction, create perfect artificial joints with ligament analogues, improve the prevention and diagnosis of pathology of the lower extremity girdle. This will increase the mobility of patients, and allow healthy people to maintain joint function. A wide field of scientific creativity opens up for researchers, and patrons have the opportunity to remain in history as sponsors of a project that can positively influence the life of all inhabitants of planet Earth without exception.

Original text:

В Х веке современной эры выдающийся византийский врач и философ Феофил написал, что связка головки бедренной кости, ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), «создана по Божией любви к человеку». К высказыванию мудреца сложно что-либо добавить, ибо значение структуры действительно исключительно велико для нормального функционирования тазобедренного сустава, естественной ходьбы и непринужденного поддержания вертикальных поз.

Как и прочие элементы тела человека, LCF неизбежно изменяется с возрастом и зачастую травмируется. Ее повреждение или только удлинение на начальном этапе обуславливает появление боли, хромоты и нарушение способности пребывать в ортостатическом положении. У детей развивается остеохондропатия головки бедренной кости, дисплазия тазобедренного сустава и патологический вывих бедра. В зрелом возрасте изменения LCF приводят к тяжелейшим заболеваниям тазобедренного сустава: остеоартрозу и асептическому (аваскулярному) некрозу головки бедренной кости. Проблемы множатся с числом прожитых лет. Постепенно поражаются смежные сочленения таза, позвоночника, а также коленный сустав. Снижается качество жизни: ограничивается общение, уменьшается подвижность, увеличиваются расходы семьи на лечение.

Нарушение походки при повреждении LCF впервые описано в книге «Бырэйршит» (Бытие) – древнем литературном памятнике, датирующимся как минимум X-V веком до современной эры. Об этом анатомическом образовании писал Гиппократ в V-IV веке до современной эры, позднее Гераклид Тарентский, Гегетор, Аполлон Китионский, Руф Эфесский, Гален Пергамский, Орибасий и Феофил Протоспафарий. За прошедшие 3.5 тысячелетия Человечество узнало о LCF недостаточно мало. До сих пор точная диагностика ее патологии и профилактика не разработаны, а способы эффективного лечения неизвестны. Самые современные операции по эндопротезированию тазобедренного сустава не предусматривают воссоздание этой структуры, а артроскопические вмешательства, сопровождающиеся ее повреждением или удалением, усугубляют имеющиеся проблемы.

Ныне, если Вы начали хромать и испытываете боль по причине патологии LCF, время нормального функционирования тазобедренного сустава уже сочтено. Его катастрофическое изменение неизбежно. Консервативная терапия по большей части паллиативная. Хирургические процедуры в оптимистичном варианте бесполезны, а в худшем – калечащие. Пациенты обречены. Врачи в замешательстве. Предпринимаемые усилия и тех, и других пока бесперспективны (04.02.2024).

Надежда у докторов и больных все же есть. Нам видится, что необходимо проведение масштабных экспериментальных и клинических исследований, результаты которых должны стать общественным достоянием. Наш проект поможет: разработать надежные методики реконструкции LCF, создать совершенные искусственные суставы с аналогами связок, улучшить профилактику и диагностику патологии пояса нижних конечностей. Указанное повысит мобильность больных, а здоровым позволит сохранить функцию сустава. Перед исследователями открывается широкое поле научного творчества, а у меценатов появляется возможность остаться в истории спонсорами проекта, способного положительно повлиять на бытие всех без исключения жителей планеты Земля.

2014ArkhipovaAS

  In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).   Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 16

  Short retelling of chapter 16 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 16. The Archive of Joseph The saga of Joseph, a towering figure in the Book of Genesis, begins in Harran (36°52'16"N, 39°01'31"E), where he is born to Rachel, the second wife of Patriarch Jacob. As a young child, he leaves Paddan-Aram in northern Mesopotamia with his family, eventually settling in the Canaanite valley of Hebron. The journey through Western Asia’s rugged terrain leaves vivid impressions—of camel caravans, river crossings, and a final glimpse of his grandfather Laban on Gilead’s heights. By seven, Joseph is in Canaan, a land of contrasts to Harran’s plains. At seventeen, his life takes a dark turn. His brothers, envious of Jacob’s favoritism—symbolized by a vibrant, multicolored robe—sell him into Egyptian slavery. In Egypt, Joseph’s fortunes shift d...

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).

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).
