1570FalloppioG

Fragment from the book Falloppio G. Expositio in librum Galeni De ossibus (1570). The author briefly describes the ligaments of the hip joint, but does not directly mention the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). However, Galen of Pergamon in treatise «De Ossibus ad Tirones» (On Bones for Beginners) writes: «There is a socket of large size in each of the ischia, attached by a very stout ligament (σύνδεσμος) to the head of the femur.» (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV).

Quote p. 66

[Lat]

De ossibus, quæ cum osse sacro coniunguntur.

Cap XXXI.

…

Est ne aliud obseruandum? Est hoc quòd in tertio osse ad partes posteriores est cauitas profunda, quæ appellatur «κοτύλη». Quia exculpta est tanquam mensura caua: In qua cauitate inseritur promines caput fœmoris, cui ligamentis quibusdam connectitur.

Translation

[Eng]

Of the Bones That Join the Sacrum.

Chapter XXXI.

…

Is there anything else that should be observed? Yes, that on the third bone from the back there is a deep cavity, which is called «κοτύλη». It is cut as if it were a deep bowl. Into this cavity the protruding head of the femur is inserted, and is connected to it by means of certain ligaments.

The author talks about an anatomical specimen of a femur that does not have a fossa of the femoral head – the area of attachment of the ligament of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). This publication was later mentioned by 1830HildebrandtGF_WeberEH . Sandifort E. Observationes anatomico-pathologicæ, Liber III. Lugdunum Batavorum: Apud P.v.d. Eyk et D. Vygh, 1779. Quote p. 1 35 Femoris ossis caput absque illa fovea, cui adnectere sese ligamentum teres solet, ostensum nostro in Theatro est, dum totum hocce ligamentum plane deërat (i).

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis? A Medical Hypothesis By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD & Lyudmila N. Arkhipova, BSN CONTENT [i] Abstract [ii] Introduction [iii] Egyptian physician [iv] Asian diviner [v] Conclusion [vi] References [vii] Application [i] Abstract The Book of Genesis is an example of an ancient literary text that contains important medical insights. We propose that it was written in northern Egypt in the late 17th century BCE, approximately ten years after the Minoan eruption. The protograph likely emerged from the collaboration between an Asiatic seer, who rose to the rank of an Egyptian official, and an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist. By refining its dating and authorship, this hypothesis positions Genesis as a credible source of medical and historical data, thereby enhancing its value for interdisciplinary research. [ii] Introduction According to Rabbinic Judais...

THE ROLE OF THE HIP JOINT LIGAMENTS

The role of the hip joint ligaments Ligaments tighten when the pelvis tilts, support the body, and correct the movement of the center of mass. A horizontal position of the pelvis in a single-leg stance and during walking is pathological.
