Fragment from the book Preuss J. Biblical and Talmudic Medicine (2004). The author translates the biblical term "גיד" into scientific language as ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and notes the possibility of its damage in an animal. More details about the mention of LCF in the book of Bereshit (Genesis) in our publications:2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV, 445bсEzra.
