[Lat]

Observ. VII.

Non rationi solummodo sed & experientiae repugnat istorum assertum, qui luxationem ossis femoris fractura facilius contingere asserunt. Quodsi tamen status iste p. n, occurrit, quem praesentibus duobus Medicinae Candidatis dignissimis Dn. Wollfart & Flach amicis honorandis, in vetula observavi, in qua ligamenta valida teretia, quibus os femoris ordinario cum acetabulo jungitur, in vtroqve latere rarissimo sane exemplo defvervnt, haud obscure patet, illo posito luxationem facilivs qvam fracturam contingere.

Quote p. 694

Observation VII.

The statement that dislocation of the femur occurs more easily with a fracture contradicts not only reason, but also experience. However, if this condition does arise, as it did in an elderly woman whom I saw in the presence of two worthy candidates of medicine, Messrs. Wollfart and Flach, my esteemed friends, who has strong rounded ligaments [ligamenta valida teretia], which usually connect the femur with the acetabulum, were absent on both sides, which is a very rare case, it becomes indisputably clear that in this case a dislocation occurs more easily than a fracture.

Homo floresiensis

HOMO FLORESIENSIS Homo floresiensis lived on the island of Flores (Indonesia) 190-50 Kya (2016SutiknaT_RobertsRG). The ancestor of this species is «suspected» to be the Asian subtype Homo erectus, which arrived from the mainland about 800 Kya (2009LyrasGA_DeVosJ). The anatomy of Homo floresiensis is less similar to Homo habilis (2008Gordon_WoodB). Homo floresiensis Author: Cicero Moraes et al. (Arc-Team) ; source: wikimedia.org collection (license CC BY 4.0, no changes). Among the discovered remains of a female Homo floresiensis ( humanorigins . si . edu ) there is a relatively well-preserved left pelvic bone (LB1/7). It has a « typically human » acetabulum (2009JungersWL_DjubiantonoT:Fig.3). The acetabulum has a complete fusion of the three bones that form it and is not hypoplastic (2012BrownP:Fig.4). The acetabular fossa is rounded and deep, continuing downwards and forwards as a wide acetabular notch. This area is the site of attachment and func...

Tiktaalik roseae

TIKTAALIK ROSEAE The first truly tetrapod animal (Limbed tetrapods) is recognized as the lobe-finned fish Tiktaalik roseae (clade Elpistostegalia), discovered in rocks aged about 375 Ma (2006DaeschlerEB_JenkinsJrFA; 2008ShubinN; 2017ShubinN). Discoveries in recent years have allowed us to place the taxa of early tetrapodomorphs in the following order: Tinirau, Eusthenopteron, Megalichthys, Panderichthys, Qikiqtania, Tiktaalik, Elpistostege, Parmastega, Ventastega, Acanthostega, Elginerpeton, Ymeria, Ichthyostega (2022StewartTA_ShubinNH). The closest ancestor of Tiktaalik roseae, the fragments of the skeleton of which are relatively well preserved, is Panderichthys.

Catalog. Arthroscopic reconstruction

Introduction Currently, ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) reconstruction using arthroscopic technologies is considered promising. According to the literature available to us, the first such operation was performed by Marc J. Philippon, which he first reported on in May 2006 (2006PhilipponMJ). Until now, reconstruction of LCF using minimally invasive technologies has not yet become widespread. The long-term results of arthroscopic LCF repair are still uncertain due to insufficient number of surgical procedures performed and short follow-up period (2014O'DonnellJM_SinghPJ).
