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.

Groups of wrestlers on the walls of tomb BH15, belonging to Baqet III – a contemporary of Pharaoh Mentuhotep II (frescoes, Beni Hasan, Egypt). These images depict wrestling scenes and the circumstances under which injuries to the hip joint —  including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) — might occur. The frescoes appear to have served as the basis for the description of wrestling found in the Book of Genesis: 25 And Ja cob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.  26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him. … 33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.

1849QuainJ

  Fragments from the book by Jones Quain (fifth edition): Elements of anatomy Vol. 1 (1849), the first edition was published in 1828. The author writes about the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and mentions synonyms.   Quote p. 278 THE HIP-JOINT. This is a true ball-and-socket joint, in which the globular head of the femur is received into the acetabulum or cotyloid cavity. The articulating surfaces are covered by cartilage in the greater part of their extent. It is deficient, however, at the bottom of the cavity, and also a little beneath the central point of the head of the femur; the latter marking the insertion of the round ligament, the former a shallow fossa for the lodgment of the structure which has been called the synovial gland. The connecting means in this articulation are three ligaments, viz. a capsular, cotyloid, and interarticular ligament, together with a synovial membrane. Fig. 147. Ligaments of the pelvis and hip-joint. The view is t...

MEDICAL RECORD. Chapter 2

  Book manuscript: Arkhipov S.V. Medical Record: The Contribution of a Middle Bronze Age Egyptian Physician to the Book of Genesis. Kyrö: Author’s Edition, 2026. – 312 pp. – 2 tables. – Bibliographical references: 856 entries.  play.google.com , books.google.com Introduction Chapter 2 Chronology of the Medical Record CONTENT [i] Text [ii] Navigation [iii] Application [i] Text When reading the Book of Genesis , we learn that the first recorded patient with an injury to the ligament of the head of femur was a man named Ya'akov (Gen. 32:25, 33). In adapted usage, the name is rendered as Jacob. According to the narrative, he was born near the well of Beer-Lahai-Roi, between Kadesh and Bered in the Negev Desert, which is in the south of the "Canaanite" land (Gen. 16:14, 23:19, 24:62). As is clear from the text, the "Canaanite land" is the western part of the current State of Israel, excluding the vicinity of the Jordan River (Gen. 13:11–12). Jacob's father ...
