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.

Quote 2.

Ch. XII. p. 106.

4. Il y a un ligament rond qui s'oppose à la luxation. 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.

Quote 3.

Ch. XII. p. 107.

3. Le ligament rond: qui retient la tête del'os se trou ve plus proche du bord de la cavité du côté interne, ce qui fait que la tête peut s'éloigner plus du côté interne que des autres, sans que le ligament soussre beaucoup de tension, & sansqu'il s'opposepar consequent à laluxation interne.

Quote 4.

Ch. XII. p. 108.

3. Le ligament rond ne peut s'alonger jusques-là, & l'os ne se peut luxer de cette maniere, que le ligament ne rompe, ainsi il faut une force majeure, car si elle est mediocre, le ligament pourra resister & empêcher la luxation.

Quote 5.

Ch. XII. pp. 116-117.

Les autres luxations sont dangereuses aprés la réduction, &celle-cy ne l'est presque point, parceque le ligament rond se déchire & se rompt dans toutes, hors dans celle-cy, parceque l'os fait moins de chemin, ce qui fait que le ligament rond n'est pas rompu, d'autant plus qu'il est attaché dans la cavité de l'ischion tout auprés du bord du côté du trou oyalaire, ce qui donne plus de facilité à la tête de l'os de s'éloigner de ce côté sans rompre ce ligament.

…

La plus dangereuse est celle qui se fait sur l'os pubis, parce qu'elle comprime les vaisseaux, dont il arrive de grands accidens, comme on le peut connoître dans les signes que nous en avons décrit, & celle-cy comme les autres qui se font en dehors ou en haut sont dangereuses, à cause de la rupture du ligament rond, c'est pourquoy il faut absolument tenir le malade de repos aprés la réduction, asin de tenter l'union de ce ligament.

Catalog. Classifications of LCF Pathology

The classifications are intended to systematize of ligamentum capitis femoris pathology and assist in the development of general approaches to its description, registration, analysis and treatment. Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, hip joint, histology, pathological anatomy, pathology, trauma INTRODUCTION In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to identify various, previously undescribed types of LCF pathology, which prompted the development of various modern classifications based on intraoperative observations. Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of the Ligamentum Teres Pathology, which has the form of a collection of classifiers, as well as a Classification of Functions of the Ligamentum Teres. The ...

BIOMECHANICS OF THE HIP JOINT WITHOUT LCF

Biomechanics of the hip joint without LCF Do you remember the comparison of the ligamentum teres with the spring element of a cart? ( 1874SavoryWS ). An analogy could arise after reading the book Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . Most orthopedists still think so.

Edwin Smith Papyrus vis-à-vis Book of Genesis

A correspondence has been found between the level of medical knowledge in the Edwin Smith Papyrus and the Book of Genesis. Were both works written during the same historical period? What do medical historians and Egyptologists think about this? Based on the analysis I conducted, I believe that the protograph of the Book of Genesis was written at the end of the Second Intermediate Period in Egypt, with the collaboration of an Asian diviner and an Egyptian physician. Arguments in more detail are presented in my online article: Архипов С . В . Кто и когда впервые описал повреждение ligamentum capitis femoris ? (WHO FIRST DESCRIBED THE LIGAMENTUM CAPITIS FEMORIS INJURY AND WHEN? This article is available in Russian, and translation to your desired language can be done using a browser plugin).
