Quote p. 367

La tête du fémur est tournée en haut, en dedans et un peu en avant; de manière que la plus grande partie de sa convexité est en haut et la plus petite en bas. Cette convexité se prolonge un peu plus en avant qu’en arrière, et forme plus de la moitié d’une sphère. Sa surface est lisse, excepté à la partie moyenne inférieure où se trouve un enfoncement dans lequel s’attache le ligament interne de l’articulation. La tête du fémur est reçue dans la cavité cotyloïde de l’os innominé.


Quote p. 374

La tête du Fémur est recouverte, dans l’état frais, par un cartilage articulaire, dont la circonférence est moins épaisse que la partie moyerine. Ce cartilage est interrompu à la partie moyenne et inférieure, par un enfoncement qui donne attache au ligament interne. La tête du fémur est reçue dans la cavité cotyloïde.


Quote pp. 378-379

Le ligament intérieur a été appelé ligament rond, quoiqu’il n’ait rien moins que la forme ronde. Il s’étend des extrémités de l’échancrure de la cavité cotyloïde, à l’enfoncement de la tête du fémur. Il est aplati et triangulaire. Une de ses faces est interne et supérieure elle est contiguë au paquet celluleux qui remplit la portion raboteuse de la cavité cotyloïde. L’autre est externe et inférieure; elle est contiguë à la tête du femur. La base de ce ligament est attachée aux extrémités de l’éclianicrnre cotyloïdienne, et au bord postérieur du ligament qui convertit cette échancrure en trou: delà, il monte obliquement en arriéré et va s’attacher, par son sommet, à la partie supérieure de l’enfoncement creusé sur la tete du fémur. Ce ligament est compose de deux bandes plates de fibres, dont l’une supérieure, plus petite, naît de l’extrémité supérieure de l’echancrure cotyloïdienne; l’autre, plus grande, naît de son extrémité infériure. Ces deux bandes se rapprochent et se confondent vers la tête du femur: leurs bords voisins sont unis par une lame fibreuse plus mince. Cet appareil fibreux est renfermé dans une espèce de gaîne membraneuse, qui naît de la circonférence de l’enfoncement raboteux de la cavité cotyloïde et du bord postérieur du ligament qui couvre l’échancrure cotyloïdienne. Cette gaîne recouvre le paquet celluleux prétendu synovial, qui remplit l’enfoncement, lui adhère fortement, entoure le ligament auquel elle est intimement unie, et finit enfin à la circonférence de l’enfoncementde la tete du fémur, en se continuant avec le cartilage articulaire. Cette membrane est souvent soulevée, près la tête du femur, par un petit flocon celluleux, semblable à ceux qu’on regarde comme des glandes synoviales. Le ligament interne est propre à empêcher que le fémur ne sorte de la cavité cotyloïde eu haut et en dehors.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 18

  Short retelling of chapter 18 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 18. THE MINISTRY OF JESUS   The accounts of Jesus’ ministry, as recorded by the Gospel writers, offer varying timelines marked by the Jewish Passover. Matthew and Mark mention one Passover, Luke references two, and John notes three instances of the festival’s approach. Based on these milestones, Jesus’ ministry—his bearing of the “cross”—likely spanned one to three years across Galilee (Upper Galilee, 32°59'10"N, 35°20'13"E; Lower Galilee, 32°46'59"N, 35°19'48"E) and Judea (31°35'N, 35°E). Isaac Newton (1642–1727) calculated Jesus’ death as occurring between 33 and 34 CE, with modern scholars pinpointing April 3, 33 CE, as the date of his crucifixion, marking the end of the Galilean Physician’s earthly journey. Thus, the period from 29 to 33 CE ...

How TeresI Helps Us

  Teresi – a small ligament of the hip joint, also known as the round ligament (lat. ligamentum teres). It supports the body and thus reduces the load on the hip joint. I would like to explain how this important structure helps us.

1882ReevesHA

  Fragments from the book Reeves HA. Human Morphology: A Treatise on Practical and Applied Anatomy. Vol. 1. (1882). The author describes the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its role.   Quote pp. 451 - 452 By arrangement with the dissector of the abdomen, who will be interested in the observation, the student should carefully trephine or chisel out a small piece from the roof of the acetabulum in order to observe what has already been stated with regard to the capsule, and also to note how the ligamentum teres is affected with regard to its tension or laxity in the various movements of the joint. He may also try to inject into the joint some warm tallow so as to note if there be any hernial protrusions or projections of the synovial membrane between the layers of the capsule, or whether the synovial membrane of the joint communicates with any of the neighbouring bursæ, more especially with the psoas bursa.

1956SingerCJ

Fragment from the book Singer CJ (Ed., trans.). On anatomical procedures: De anatomicis administrationibus (1956). Galen writes about the high resiliency and hardness of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also notes its connective function. See our commentary at the link: 1956SingerCJ [Rus], and  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV .  Quote. p. 55. [Eng] On anatomical procedures; Book II. Chapter 10. As with the arm you examined the ligaments of the bones, so now examine those of all the exposed joints and first of the hip. This has one ligament embracing it [capsular ligament], as with all joints. A second, hidden in the depths of the joint [ligamentum teres], ties the head of the femur to the hollow in the hip-bone [acetabulum]. It is so tough that it could be called a 'cartilaginous sinew'.
