Quote p. 5

23. Nec mirum id, nam quod magis est ab inferiori interiori subintrat acetabulum sub margine cartilaginoso formans ligamentum teres, inter condylos femoris ligamentum ciruciale articulationis cum tibia.

CHAPTER TWO.

Beginning with the Brain as a Principle.

…

23. And this is not surprising, because a round ligament is formed from the lower inner part of the acetabulum under the cartilaginous edge, and between the condyles of the femur there is a cruciate ligament connecting it to the tibia.

The First Scientific Mention

European science has known the LCF for about 2500 years. It is the most important functional connection of the hip joint. The first person to describe the LCF was Hippocrates (c. 460-370 BCE). A written mention of the LCF is found in §1 of his treatise "On the Instrument of redactions". In our opinion, a book created in the library of the Asclepeion of the island of Kos. Hippocrates did not dissection of the human body, did not operate on the hip joint, did not have a CT scan and MRI. How he could discover the LCF? In our view, it is possible that Hippocrates treated a patient with an open hip dislocation.

LCF in English Bibles

The primary source for translating the Bible into English is the Hebrew literary monument Torah. In its first part, the Book of Bereshit (32:33 ) , there is a mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), which in Hebrew is called « גיד » (gheed, gid) (1923, 2004PreussJ; 2019ArkhipovSV_SkvortsovDV; 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). Probably one of the earliest written translations of the Bible into Old English was made by Ælfric of Eynsham, who worked approximately between 955–1010 CE (1050Aelfric’s). In Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Paraphrase, the Hebrew concept of « גיד » [gheed], that is, LCF, is mentioned twice in the 25th and 32nd verses of the XXXII Chapter of the Book of Genesis and is called «sine» ( Figure 1, 2 ). In Middle English, translators Nicholas of Hereford and John Wycliffe named LCF as «synwe», and in John Purvey's Bible edition - «senewe» (1850ForshallJ_MaddenF). In Bibles in Early Modern English, LCF is designated as «senow» and «senowe» (1530TyndaleW; 1535CoverdaleM; 1...

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.

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.

The Shortest Comments on Genesis, Chap. XXXII-XXXIII

The chosen fragment records ancient views on the symptoms, mechanism, and differential diagnosis of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury. The author describes the emotional status, work capacity of the patient, circumstances, time, and place of the injury, as a physician in the modern medical record (Genesis 32:8-33:20). Further in the text, apparently, a pathoanatomical investigation is mentioned, confirming the antemortem diagnosis, place of dissection (Genesis 50:2-3), as well as the location of the burial of embalmed remains (Genesis 50:13). Our comments on chapters 32-33 are presented in the table. The quotes are based on the translation of the Book of Bereshit (Genesis) from Hebrew by Isaac Leeser (1922). The shortest comments Quotes from the original source Emotional status and the name of injured person. 32:8 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and he felt distress...

The Birth of the Earth

The Birth of the Earth The solar system arose 4.5682-4.567 billion years ago (2013HazenRM). It has been found with an accuracy of 1% that the substance of the "Earth-Moon-meteorite" complex is 4.55-4.51 billion years old (2001DalrympleGB). The outlined segment is the immediate beginning of the arrangement of our Home in the Universe. One of the most important conditions for the emergence of life is liquid water (2002ChybaCF_PhillipsCB). Analysis of lithosphere particles aged 4406 (+14/-17) million years showed that they crystallized under conditions of increased water pressure (2012O'NeilJ_FrancisD). Accordingly, moisture was present no later than 160 million years after the "establishment" of the planet. The explanation for this is the proven presence of water in the accretion disk of the newborn Sun, which the Earth could have received in a volume equivalent to one to three oceans (2005DrakeMJ). According to a conservative estimate, half of the Earth's w...

THE OLDEST LCF

The very first four-legged animal, the lobe-finned fish Tiktaalik roseae, lived about 375 million years ago. Based on indirect evidence (paired notches of the acetabulum), we believe that in the hip joint it had two ligaments of the head of femur, in Latin called ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). A similar anatomy of the hip joint is preserved in the salamander. Illustration Tiktaalik roseae is the first animal to have a LCF A) 3D model of the right pelvic bone of the fish Tiktaalik roseae (fragment of a screenshot: media.hhmi.org ), where we depicted the dissected anterior LCF (lig.cap.fem.ant.) and posterior LCF (lig.cap.fem.post.), that are attached to the corresponding notches of the acetabulum ( inc.ac.ant. & inc.ac.post.). Below the pelvis is a photograph of our model of the Tiktaalik roseae femur with fragments of two LCFs (a fossil femur of Tiktaalik roseae has not yet been discovered). B) View of a salamander femur with a proximal fragment of the ilia...

The First Open Reconstruction

The first open reconstruction of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) was performed in 1926 by Ernest William Hey Groves (1872-1944) (1927Hey-GrovesEW). The surgery was proposed for the treatment of congenital hip dislocation in children. Later, in 1928, regarding this pathology, he noted: «Congential dislocation of the hip is a deformity which is mysterious in its origin, insidious in its course and relentless in its final crippling results» (quoted from 1983RatliffAH). In the early 20th century, a pioneer in orthopedic surgery realized that the LCF played a crucial role in the development of this pathology and developed a technique for its reconstruction.
