Superius rotundum, globosumque Caput, oblongæ & robustæ Cervici, quæ universam corporis molem sustinere debet, imponitur; quod cartilagine obductum intra cavitatem, ossis ilium, ischii, & pubis concursu productam, quæ Acetabulum alias dicitur, reconditur: in qua detinetur robustis ligamentis; lato uno, & membranoso, quod à circumferentia acetabuli exortum, totum articulum circumdat; tum rotundo altero, & tereti, quod ab ipsa cavitate productum, statim in caput susceptum demittitur.

[Eng]

LXV.

The head, round and globular at the top, is placed on an elongated and strong neck, which must support the whole weight of the body; covered with cartilage, it is placed in a cavity formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium and pubis, which is otherwise called the acetabulum: in this cavity it is held by strong ligaments; one broad and membranous, which begins around the acetabulum and surrounds the whole joint; and the other round and rounded, which comes directly from the cavity itself and is directed immediately to the head, to which it is attached.

According to this assumption, the protograph of the Book of Genesis was written in Egypt in the late 17th century BCE following the Minoan eruption, with the participation of an encyclopaedic physician. The formulated hypothesis undoubtedly requires comprehensive discussion by the interdisciplinary research community. The theoretical possibility of such a work appearing in the Nile Valley finds support in the history of writing. The earliest texts were compiled in the Tigris – Euphrates basin and Ancient Egypt.

Eryops megacephalus

ERYOPS MEGACEPHALUS Eryops megacephalus Cope 1877 is an early tetrapod from the Permian (298 .9-251.9 Ma ), apparently showing strong similarities to salamanders (2022HerbstEC_HutchinsonJR; 2023CohenKM_C arN). Adults reached an advanced degree of terrestrial habitation and a size of about three meters from head to tail (2002SchochRR). Eryops megacephalus (Lower Permian); top – reconstruction of the skeleton; bottom – appearance of the animal, sculptor Ya.M. Eglon; exposition of the Orlov Paleontological Museum (Moscow); photo by the author. Anatomical evidences of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in Eryops megacephalus is suggested by certain features in fossilized pelvic and femoral bones. Notable LCF indicators on the femur include the fovea capitis, the groove on the femoral head, and the femoral head’s tuberosity. In the pelvic bone, signs of LCF presence include acetabular notches, an acetabular fossa, perforations, and irregularities on the acetabular surface. We used th...

The First Publication on Prevention

In our opinion, the first publication on the topic of preventing of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury is the abstract of the report: “Arkhipov-Baltiysky SV. On increasing the safety of jumping from heights. Abstracts of reports of the All-Russian Conference ... “Trauma in peacetime and war” (Anapa, 2005).” This text not only holds historical significance but remains relevant for sports, armed forces, circus performers, and other extreme activities. The online version of « О безопасности прыжков с высоты » (On the Safety of High-Altitude Jumps) was published in 2005 on the website « Морфомеханика » www.enet.ru/~archipov/ (no longer supported, archived copy ), specifically in the section « Архив публикация автора » (Archive publications of the author).
