According to the author, the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is intended to prevent dislocations in all directions. A. Cooper discusses traumatic obturator dislocation of the hip joint and LCF injury in more detail.

Quote p. 148

Das ligamentum teres hat die Bestimmung, Luras tionen nach allen Richtungen hin zu verhindern, besonders aber nach abwärts, denn wenn die Schenkel weit ausein andergespreizt werden, wie z. B. bei'm Fechten, so würde der Kopf des linken Oberschenkelknochens in Gefahr feyn, aus seiner Gelenkhöhle zu schlüpfen, was aber durch dieses Ligament verhindert wird.

The ligamentum teres is designed to prevent dislocations in all directions, especially downwards, because when the thighs are widely abducted, such as in fencing, the head of the left femur may be at risk of slipping out of its joint socket, but this is prevented by this ligament. 

Quote pp. 153-154

Man ist der irrigen Meinung gewesen, daß bei der Luration in das foramen ovale bas ligamentum teres werde, weil nach Zerschneidung des Kapselbandes am Leichname der Knochenkopf über den untern Rand Des acetabulum gedrängt werden kann, ohne das ligamentum teres zu zerreißen. Aber die Lupation in das foramen ovale ereignet sich, wenn die Schenkel weit auseinanderges fpreist werden, wobei das ligamentum teres in große Spannung fommt. Wird nun der Knochenkopf aus dem acetabulum getrieben so zerreißt das Ligament, ehe er noch gänzlich seine Gelenkhöhle verläßt.

It was erroneous to believe that there is no damage to the ligamentum teres during dislocation into the obturator foramen, because after cutting the capsular ligament on a cadaver, the bone head can be displaced beyond the lower edge of the acetabulum without tearing the ligamentum teres. However, dislocation into the obturator foramen occurs when the thighs are abducted, resulting in significant tension on the ligamentum teres. If, in this process, the bone head is forced out of the acetabulum, the ligament tears before it completely exits the joint socket.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 5

  Short retelling of chapter 5 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 5.  ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living." From a genetic perspective, they are depicted as siblings, with an age difference of 18–25 years. According to the biblical epic, they formed humanity’s first family, sustaining themselves on pre-existing fruits and seeds. Their initial home was the "garden in Eden," located "in the east" relative to the narrator. The text identifies geographic markers for Eden’s location: lands like "Asshur," "Cush," and "Havilah," and rivers named "Pishon," "Gihon," "Hiddekel," and "Phrath." The narrator also notes the region’s economic value, mentioning "gold," ...

Australopithecus afarensis

  AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...

The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. Quote 1. Ch. VII. p. 64. … outre que l'articulation du bras n'a que des ligamens fort lâches, & n'est point assujettie par un ligament rond comme la cuisse, d'où vient qu'il fait toutes sortes de mouvemens avec vitesse.

Ce ligament prend son origine de la tête du femur, & s'insere dans la cavité de l'ischion; à la verité il ne s'insere pas directement au fond de la cavité ny au milieu de la tête, ce qui fait qu'il ne peur pas s'opposer à toutes les especes de luxations, comme nous le ferons voir dans les differences.
