Traitant des Luxationis. Prognostic de la luxation de la hanche. Chap. XXXIX.

Aux luxations de la cuisse il ya danger, ou que l’os soit reduit malaisément, ou qu’estant reduit ne tombe de rechef. Car si les muscles, tendon et ligamens de ceste partie sont forts et durs, à peine laissent - ils reduire l’os en sa place. Pareillement s’ils sont trop foibles, laxes et mols, ils ne le peuuent tenir quand il est reduit: semblablement quand le ligament court et rond, qui ioint estroitement la teste dudit os au fond de sa cauité, est rompu ou relasché. Or ledit ligament se rompt par quelque violente force, et se relasche par vne humidite glaireuse et superflue, amassée es parties voisines de ceste iointure, qui l’abreuue et mollifie. Et si cedit ligament est rompu, encores que l’os soit reduit, ne tient iamais et retombe tousiours, quelque diligence qu’on y puisse faire: ce que i’ay veu plusieurs fois. S’il est seulement humecté et relasché apres, l’auoir reduit, si on peut consommer et seicher l’humeur par medicamens et par cauteres potentiels ou actuels appliqués autour de la iointure l’os y demeure ferme et ne retombe plus. Donc, pour le dire en vn mot quand ce ligament est rompu ou trop relasché, l’os ne peut tenir ferme en sa boëtte lors qu’il y est remis, principalement en ceux qui sont maigres, pource qu’icelle iointure n’est liée de ligaments par dehors, comme est la iointure du genoüil, et qu’il n’y a point d’aponeurose, c’est-à-dire tendons larges, comme nous auons dit. (corrected text by 1840ParéA).

Original in Russian is available at the link: Нижний портал. Часть 1. below is a machine translation edited by a non-native speaker ( version dated 03/02/2025 ) . 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.

Prolygina KEYWORDS: ancient medicine; ancient traumatology; Galen; Hippocrates; hip joint; ligamentum capitis femoris; ligament of head of femur; ligamentum teres. SUMMARY Background. One of the least researched anatomical structures of the human body is the ligament of head of femur, most often referred to as ligamentum teres. The history of the nomination of this term, medical contexts of its use, the etymology and the first synonyms (Figure 1) are not sufficiently understood. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the most complete collection of evidence from ancient medical authors about the term ligamentum teres, trace the history of its nomination and analyze the gradual changes in the level of knowledge about the anatomy, mechanical and geometric properties of this structure, its pathology and treatment methods. Methods. The study is based on an inter...
