1521Berengario da CarpiJ

Fragments from the book Berengario da Carpi. Carpi Commentaria cum amplissimis additionibus super Anatomia Mundini (1521). The author comments on the treatise by Mondino de Luzzi (XIV cent.), describes the form and role of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The possibility of LCF damage is mentioned, as well as the consequences of this pathology - lameness and atrophy, as well as their pathogenesis. Berengario da Carpi uses rare synonyms to designate LCF: ligamentum uertebrū (vertebrum), ligamentum cordosum.

De anatomia cruris et pedis. Textus Mundini.

Et primum est os femoris, supra qd fabricati sunt sphonondyli dorsi, et per consequens totum corpus, in parte inferiori habet pisidem quandam, in cuius cocauitate locata est extremitas rotunda cannæ coxæ, quæ uertebrum uocatur, et in medio amboru in parte iteriori est quod dam ligamentum quod potest uocari uertebrū, et quá do hoc uel primum resilit foras tunc necesse est homine claudicare, quia crus p hoc elongatur et firmari nó potest, nec corpus potest bene substetari, et necesse est ut crus tabescat, quia uenæ quæ pertranseunt inferius propter oppressionem, et obliquarionem quodammo do opilantur, licet non pfecte et iunctura hæc. s. istorū ossiū uocatur scia, et inde dolor eius uocatur sciaticus.

Quote pp. 513-514.

Anatomy of the thigh and foot. Text Mundini.

And the first is the femur, on which the vertebrae of the back are based, and therefore the whole body. In the lower part there is a kind of hollow in which the round head of the femur is located, called a vertebra. Between them, on the inner side, there is a ligament, which can be called a vertebra [vertebral], and when this ligament is torn, then a person begins to limp, because the leg is lengthened and cannot be fixed, and the body cannot be properly supported, and the leg begins to atrophy, since the veins that pass below are compressed and partially clogged. This joint is called the sciatic, and pain in it is called sciatica.

Quote p. 516.

[Eng]

Comment XXXX. Carpi.

...but the femur has a tubercle in its upper part, to which a certain cord-like ligament is attached: which connects with a socket or depression in the pelvic bone: and thus, there are two ligaments in this joint. The first already mentioned, and the other ligament connecting the bones from the outside. The reason why nature has made two ligaments in such a joint is this: a great range of motion of the leg with a great load.

INFERIOR PORTAL FOR HIP ARTHROSCOPY: A PILOT STUDY PART 1. Background and Hypothesis Arkhipov S.V., Independent Researcher, Joensuu, Finland Abstract: The article presents, theoretically and graphically substantiates the technique of a new arthroscopic approach to the central compartment of the hip joint. It is proposed to introduce the optical system of the arthroscope from below through the acetabular notch without traction. Similar approaches were used for puncture, arthroscopy, arthrography, and arthrotomy of the hip joint. Diagnostics using the described lower portal will exclude complications caused by distraction of the leg and compression of the perineal support during surgery. CONTENTS PART 1.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).
