Chizkuni. Genesis 32:33.1

על כן לא יאכלו כמו והוא לא כן ידמה, כלומר בדין הוא שיש לקנוס ולענוש בני ישראל מאכילת גיד הנשה שהניחו את אביהם הולך יחידי כדכתיב ויותר יע קב לבדו (original source: sefaria.org).

Chizkuni. Genesis 32:33.1

על כן לא יאכלו, “therefore it is appropriate that the Israelites do not eat, etc.;” this construction is parallel to Isaiah 10,7: והוא לא כן ידמה, “but it does not seem like this to him;” in other words: it would be right and proper to punish the Israelites not to eat that particular sinew as they should not have allowed their founding father to be exposed to hostile forces at night. (trans. Eliyahu Munk (2013); original source: sefaria.org).

Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]. The monograph dates the writing of the Book of Genesis and the events depicted in it, as well as refutes the authorship of Moses. I offer mutually beneficial cooperation (50/50) in literary translation into English or native language. Proofreading of machine translation and cooperation in editing are expected. Requirements for co-author: 1. Native speaker 2. Experience as a writer. E-mail: archipovsv(&)gmail.com Annotation The first version of the Book of Genesis appeared in Ancient Egypt approximately 3,600 years ago, during the Hyksos period. The work was conceived as a fairy tale epic. An unknown physician-encyclopedist, who is also presumed to have authored the Edwin Smith Papyrus, played a role in its composition...

ILIOTIBIAL TRACT & LCF

ILIOTIBIAL TRACT & LCF There is an opinion that the iliotibial tract, like the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), provides pressing of the acetabulum to the lower surface of the femoral head. I think that this is not true. The tract is located above and lateral to the center of rotation of the hip joint. Its force vector, like the force vector of the abductor group of muscles, presses the acetabulum to the upper part of the femoral head, which increases the load on it. The ligamentum capitis femoris acts in the opposite direction. Below is a diagram for a single-support position. #ligamentum_teres #hip #biomechanics #ligamentum_capitis_femoris Publication in the facebook group 04/12/2025. ...

1836WeberW_WeberE

We present fragments from the book that laid the foundation of biomechanics of the hip joint considering the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The authors experimentally proved that this structure is situated in the frontal plane when the body is in a vertical position. Analysis of observations showed that when standing on one leg, the LCF and the anterior portion of the iliofemoral ligament (pars descendens lig. iliofemoralis) are stretched and hold the pelvis. These ligaments counteract the weight of the body along with the head of the femur on the same side. The insight of the Weber brothers was later developed in the works of H. von Meyer (1856) , W. Turner (1857) , and W. Savory(1874) . Weber W, Weber E. Mechanik der menschlichen Gehwerkzeuge: eine anatomisch-physiologische Untersuchung. Gottingen: Dietrichsche Buchhandlung, 1836.

1922LeeserI

A fragment of the Book of Genesis tells about the journey of the family of Patriarch Jacob from Charan to Canaan (Gen. 31:1 – 33:20). The translation into English from of the Masoretic Hebrew text of the Torah was done by Isaac Leeser ( 1922 LeeserI ). «Most scholars agree that the texts now found in Genesis began to be written down sometime after the establishment of the monarchy in Israel in the tenth century BCE» (1992SuggsMJ_MuellerJR). A selected passage from an ancient work mentions for the first time in history the injury of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of a person is mentioned (Gen. 32:26,33). In the original Hebrew source this anatomical element is referred to as «גיד» (gheed, gid) ( Bereshit 32:33 ; 1923, 2004PreussJ; 2019ArkhipovSV_SkvortsovDV ; 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ). This term was recorded in writing long before Hippocrates of Kos (V-IV cent. BCE) who used the concept «νεῦρον» to designate LCF (1844LittréÉ). It is not known...

LCF Mechanics

Ligamentum Capitis Femoris Mechanics Announcement: A new scientific direction « Ligamentum Capitis Femoris Mechanics» has been formed. Definition: A section of physiology that develops issues of applying the doctrine of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), its movements and forces to solving medical and biological problems. Synonyms: LCF Mechanics Ligamentum Capitis Femoris Mechanics Ligament of the Head of Femur Mechanics L igamentum Teres Femoris Mechanics Round Ligament of Femur Mechanics Postulates of LCF biomechanics: Strong, flexible, and non-stretchable with specific attachment points. Limits adduction, rotation, and cranial displacement of the femur. Shunts load on the femoral head and the abductor muscle group of the hip joint. Ensures rhythmicity, symmetry, and energy efficiency of walking.

2013ClaytonM PhiloR

Fragment from the book Clayton M, Philo R. Leonardo da Vinci: The mechanics of man (2013). The authors describe a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci depicting the insertion site of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The drawing was created in the winter of 1510-1511 in Milan while studying the anatomy of the human body ( 1510Leonardo_da Vinci ). Quote p. 90 The slightly enlarged upper head of the fibula and the blunted appearance of the styloid processes at the end of the tibia and fibula may have resulted from using freshly prepared bones, with portions of ligaments and cartilage remaining, rather than dried bones. A small piece of ligament seems to be visible on the head of the femur in the drawings below, at upper right and at upper center, and the patella drawn in isolation at upper left appears to have some of the patellar ligament remaining on its lower edge.

Set of Classifications

General Classification of LCF Pathology Version : 20240420 Annotation Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of LCF Pathology. Introduction In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. L.I. Gaevskaya distinguished three types of LCF: 1) long and thick (length 41–51 mm, thickness 5 mm), 2) short and thin (length 10–20 mm, thickness 1 mm), 3) long and of small thickness (length 43–45 mm, with a thickness of 3 mm, and length 28–30 mm with a thickness of 4–5 mm) (1954 ГаевскаяЛИ ). V.V. Kovanov, A.A. Travin identified three varieties of histological structure of LCF: 1) with a predominance of loose connective tissue; 2) with a predominance of dense connective tissue; 3) with a uniform distribution of loose and dense connective tissue ( 1963 КовановВВ _ ТравинАА ). The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to i...
