1561DuboisJ

Fragment from the book Dubois J. Commentarius in Claudii Galeni De Ossibus ad Tyrones labellum (1561). The author translates a treatise by Galen, and describes the attachment and properties of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). For a translation of excerpts from the treatise On Bones for Beginners (De Ossibus ad Tyrones) and On the Usefulness of the Parts of the Body (De usu partium corporis humani) mentioning LCF, see our work 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV.

On the ligament, finally, the strongest, round, coming from the center of the acetabulum and almost along the entire lateral edge, and attached in the center of the head of the femur, and on the other [ligaments] we will say in our treatise on ligaments and in the notes to the book «Usefulness of the Parts of the Body».

2025ArkhipovSV. Human Children

The monograph Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. An essay with references to interactive materials. 2nd revised and expanded edition. 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.

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...

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...
