The article by Chen JH, Al’Khafaji I, Ernstbrunner L, O’Donnell J, Ackland D. Joint contact behavior in the native, ligamentum teres deficient and surgically reconstructed hip: A biomechanics study on the anatomically normal hip (2025).

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...

1878MarshallJ

Fragments from the book Marshall J. Anatomy for artists (1878). The author discusses the anatomy and briefly the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF): «… checks adduction of the thigh, or a sinking down of the pelvis upon the opposite side, and, possibly, also limits the reciprocal, horizontal rotatory movements of the femur and the pelvis on each other» . Quote p. 65 The head of the femur is almost entirely received into the acetabulum, a deep socket of the hip-bone, thus forming the largest and most complete ball-and- socket joint in the body. At a point on the inner side of the head of the femur, a little below and also behind its centre, is a small rough, bifid , depression, for the attachment of the ligamentum teres of the hip-joint. Opposite this point, the head of the bone is, however, more prominent than elsewhere, and corresponds with a non- articular depressed portion of the acetabulum. Quote p. 68 The ligamentum teres, which is attached by one en...

1916WalmsleyT

Article by Walmsley T. A note on the retinacula of Weitbrecht (1916). The author discusses the embryonic development and relationships of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in humans and animals. A NOTE ON THE RETINACULA OF WEITBRECHT. By THOMAS WALMSLEY, M.B., Senior Demonstrator in Anatomy, University of Glasgow. The synovial membrane of the hip-joint is in extent and attachment similar to that of other diarthroses, but the retinacula of Weitbrecht (or ligaments of Stanley) lend to it a special interest. These retinacula are readily recognized on the interior of the capsule as flattened bands passing inwards towards the margin of the head of the femur from the attachment of the peripheral capsule. The following description of their constitution may be selected as expressive of current opinion. The retinacula are arranged in three groups, superior, middle, and inferior: structurally, they are synovial covered capsular reflections: morphologic...

1956PelletLL

US2765787A United States Inventor: Leon L Pellet Current Assignee: Individual Worldwide applications 1954 US Application US447107A events: 1954-08-02 Application filed by Individual 1954-08-02 Priority to US447107A 1956-10-09 Application granted 1956-10-09 Publication of US2765787A 1973-10-09 Anticipated expiration Status: Expired - Lifetime HIP ARTHROPLASTY WITH FLEXBLE SECURING MEANS Leon L. Pellet, Dallas, Tex. Application August 2, 1954, Serial No. 447,107 19 Claims. (C. 128-92) This invention relates to a method and means for treating subcapital fractures of the femur. Subcapital fractures of the femur, i. e. fracture of the neck of the femur between the head and the trochanter of the femur, occur frequently in elderly people because the bone structure of the femoral neck becomes porous and weak with age. Further, sometimes, as a result of ase...

1857RichetA

Fragments of the book Richet A. Traité pratique d' Anatomie medico-chirurgicale (1857) are devoted to the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author believes that the vessels passing through the LCF are sufficient to supply blood to the femoral head. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet. Quote pp. 922-923 Articulation coxo-femorale. Cette articulation, qui appartient à la classe des énarthroses dont elle représente le type, a été l'objet de travaux importants de la part des physiologistes et des chirurgiens, et c'est aux frères Weber et à M. Malgaigne, plutôt qu'aux anatomistes purs, qu'on doit d'avoir mis en lumière un grand nombre des faits qui vont suivre et qui éclairent des questions pathologiques avant eux restées insol...

1865RoseE

The author describes his own experiments on the hip joint and mentions the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Edmund Rose noted that the LCF allowed the femoral head to be removed from the acetabulum more than 1½ inches (38.1 mm). The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet. Die Mechanik des Hüftgelenkes. Von Dr. EDMUND ROSE, Docent der Chirurgie in Berlin. Quote p. 528-530 Ich fuhr danach fort, die Weber'schen Experimente zwar nicht wörtlich nachzumachen, aber zur Controlle zu variiren, indem ich zunächst den Pfannenboden dicht oberhalb des untern Horns und neben dem Lig. teres von der Pfanne aus durchbohrte, um so die Kugel nicht zu verletzen, was bei umgekehrkehrter Richtung, da sich Pfanne und Kugel berühren, den Mechanikern unvermeidlich scheint (1), wonach dann freilich ...
