Translation

[Eng]

Ligamentum teres capitis femoris.

§. LXXXIIII.

This ligament, which connects the head of the femur to the acetabulum, rests on the floor of the acetabulum and resembles a prism.

The surface of the inner side touching the head of the femur is attached to the transverse internal ligament of the cartilaginous edge.

The surface of the superior side touching the acetabulum begins from the superior horn of the inferior edge of the semilunar surface of the acetabulum.

The inferior side mostly arises from the fossa between both horns of the semilunar surface of the acetabulum and touches the acetabulum only in certain directions of movement of the femur.

The slippery membrane with which it is covered forms folds that become longer towards the fossa and contain joint lubrication and also have one or two tendon fibers inside. (Ligament and fat mass, WEITBRECHT Fig. LVI. I.)

It limits the movement of the femur in the upper and outer directions.

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 author writes about anatomy, role, and damage of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in hip dislocation. 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. 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.
