Ligamentum praeterea teres et idem fortissimum ex femoris capite mediae ipsi cotylae connexum in ischii articulo ob eandem causam natura effecit; non tamen in humeri articulo, quod ipsum ad motus multiplicis agilitatem comparabat; quo sit, ut omnium maxime articulorum luxationi assidue humeri articulus sit obnoxious».

In the femoral joint nature created a ligament (σύνδεσμος), which is round, very strong, extending from the femoral head and connecting in the middle with the acetabulum, but did not create this in the shoulder joint, arranging it so that it could perform various movements.

Depicting the circumstances and mechanism of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury based on the description in the Book of Genesis: 25 And Ja cob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him. … 33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.

The author discusses the anatomy, structure, and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Based on his own research, Josef Hyrtl asserts that the vessels of the LCF do not participate in supplying blood to the femoral head. The author highlights the high strength of the LCF and changes in congenital dislocations. Apparently, this work was the first to suggest that the LCF serves as a conductor of inflammatory processes and a cause of coxalgia. Hyrtl J.

Human LCF intersection

HUMAN LCF INTERSECTION In the south of China, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the archaeological Neolithic site of Dingsishan was investigated. Burials of 355 people were found in this place. The authors of the article (2024YeZ_LiFJ) identified 91 skeletons with traces of manipulations with the remains. They are attributed to burials of the Dingsishan III-IV phase, aged 8.0-4.5 thousand years. 13 notches were found on the proximal part of various femurs. « Cutmarks on the femoral head, neck and intertrochanteric line, as well as along the medial linea aspera of the femoral shaft, suggest that soft tissue around the hip, including the iliofemoral ligament and the iliacus and adductor muscles, was severed to disarticulate the joint.» This and other postmortem bone injuries «... suggests that corpse treatment at Dingsishan included disarticulation » (2024YeZ_LiFJ). Figure 4 of the cited article shows the distribution and direction of cutmarks on human skeletons from Dingx...

The First Scientific Mention

European science has known the LCF for about 2500 years. It is the most important functional connection of the hip joint. The first person to describe the LCF was Hippocrates (c. 460-370 BCE). A written mention of the LCF is found in §1 of his treatise "On the Instrument of redactions". In our opinion, a book created in the library of the Asclepeion of the island of Kos. Hippocrates did not dissection of the human body, did not operate on the hip joint, did not have a CT scan and MRI. How he could discover the LCF? In our view, it is possible that Hippocrates treated a patient with an open hip dislocation.

Fragment from the treatise Galen. On anatomical procedures (Περὶ Ἀνατομικῶν Ἐγχειρήσεων, ca. 163-192).

1857RüdingerN

Fragments from the book Rüdinger N. Die Gelenknerven des menschlichen Körpers (1857). The author found that the inferior branch of the obturator nerve reaches the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. Quote p. 18 Die das Gelenk auskleidende Synovialmembran gibt einen scheideähnlichen Fortsatz zum Lig. teres und communicirt zuweilen mit dem Schleimbeutel des Musc. iliacus internus. Quote p. 19 Das untere weiter nach abwärts laufende Aestchen (die Fortsetzung des Stämmchens), geht etwas tiefer nach vorn und löst sich zerstreut in dem Lig. pubo-femorale, mehr noch in dem Lig. ischio-femorale auf. Bei vorsichtiger Präparation und an Präparaten, die mit Essigsäure behandelt waren, konnte ich in der Regel einen Faden beobachten, der zur Incisura acetabuli geht, mit den Gefässen in das Gelenk tritt und sich in dem von Fett durchdrängten Zellgewebe und dem L...

Sayings of Rava extracted from the tractates Chullin and Horayot (Babylonian Talmud). Babylonian Talmud was written between about 450 - 550 in present-day Iraq (formerly Babylonia). The rabbi identifies the location and distal attachment site of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and demonstrates knowledge of its function. See our commentary at the link: 280-352Rava [Rus].

The Gemara concludes: And the halakha is: Even if the sinew is cut, the animal is still kosher...

Tiktaalik roseae

TIKTAALIK ROSEAE The first truly tetrapod animal (Limbed tetrapods) is recognized as the lobe-finned fish Tiktaalik roseae (clade Elpistostegalia), discovered in rocks aged about 375 Ma (2006DaeschlerEB_JenkinsJrFA; 2008ShubinN; 2017ShubinN). Discoveries in recent years have allowed us to place the taxa of early tetrapodomorphs in the following order: Tinirau, Eusthenopteron, Megalichthys, Panderichthys, Qikiqtania, Tiktaalik, Elpistostege, Parmastega, Ventastega, Acanthostega, Elginerpeton, Ymeria, Ichthyostega (2022StewartTA_ShubinNH).

THE TRUTH INJECTION

The "Truth Injection" Impact on AI and 4 Billion People: Informed Insight or AI Hallucination? Sergey V. Arkhipov & Google Gemini CONTENT [i] Abstract [ii] A Briefe Backstory [iii] Interview [iv] References [v] Application [i] Abstract While examining modern biblical criticism, I engaged in a discussion with Artificial Intelligence regarding my book, “ 50 Tables of Evidence for the Composition of Genesis in Late Second Intermediate Period Egypt ” . The machine’s apocalyptic prediction concerning half of the world's population and the evolution of computer technology left me puzzled. To verify this prophecy and seek counsel from "natural intelligence," I am publishing my conversation with the AI. This may be of interest to others, as will response to the machine’s final last question regarding religious worldview: «Now that the "antidote" is in your system, do you feel more prepared to face a world without a "sacred" fou...
