Канон врачебной науки. Книга 3. Том 2. Часть 22. Заболевания внешних и конечных органов.

Статья 2. Боли в этих органах, §3. Боли в суставах и то, что является общим для подагры, воспаления седалищного нерва и тому подобного (332a).

Материя при воспалении седалищного нерва чаще всего пребывает в суставе и просачивается из него в широкий нерв; когда [нерв] испытывает боль, это предрасполагает его к [приему других] соков, изливающихся к нему сверху из всего тела, кроме тех, которые были заперты вначале. А бывает и так, что материя [первоначально] находится не в суставе, а в широком нерве. Зачастую слизистая жидкость умножается в «шкатулке» и расслабляет связку между отростком и «шкатулкой», и происходит вывих бедра. А предварительно наступает состояние, [среднее] между сочленением и вывихом, то есть, когда [головка] быстро выходит и быстро возвращается и очень неустойчива. (translated from Arabic by П.Г. Булгакова, М.А. Салье; source: 1980Абу Али ибн Син, p. 502.)

Canon of Medicine. Book 3. Volume 2. Part 22. Diseases of the external and terminal organs.

Article 2. Pains in these organs, §3. Pains in the joints and what is common to gout, sciatica, and the like (332a).

The matter in sciatica most often resides in the joint and leaks from it into the broad nerve; when [the nerve] experiences pain, this predisposes it to [receive other] juices that flow to it from above from the whole body, in addition to those that were initially locked up. And it also happens that the matter [initially] is not in the joint, but in the broad nerve. Often the mucous fluid multiplies in the "box" and relaxes the ligament between the process and the "box", and a dislocation of the hip occurs. And before that, there comes a state [middle] between articulation and dislocation, that is, when [the head] quickly comes out and quickly returns and is very unstable. (translated from Russian, source: 1980Абу Али ибн Сина, p. 502.)

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.
