[i] During traumatic hip fracture-dislocation, the attainment of concentric reduction in the joint is commonly impeded by the presence of a bony fragment and, less frequently, by injuries to the soft tissues such as a torn acetabular labrum, ruptured capsule, or ligamentum teres.  

Complications in patients who underwent open arthrotomy included a 37% incidence of postoperative heterotopic ossification (HO), along with cases of cosmetic deformity and ligamentum teres rupture.  


[ii] Patients aged ≥40 years had a higher prevalence of ligamentum teres damage (P< .001) and underwent ligamentum teres debridement at higher rates (54% vs 35%; P = .02) as well as higher rates of femoroplasty (74% vs 57%; P = .03).  


[iii] The fibroblasts in patients with AS (ankylosing spondylitis) were obtained from the ligamentum teres of the hip during total hip arthroplasty. 


[iv]  Persistent anterior or lateral hip impingement test might indicate an under resection of Cam or Pincer deformity and a possible re-tear of the labrum, a positive O'Donnell test might indicate ligamentum teres (LT) pathology,… 


[v] Studies show preliminary traction decreasing the incidence of AVN undergoing CR for DDH [20, 21, 22], but any traction will have an insignificant effect on the main obstacles for reduction for eg. pulvinar, tight hour-glass capsule, transverse acetabular ligament, hypertrophied ligamentum teres (all intracapsular).


[vi] Various factors may lead to poor results of hip arthroscopy in BDDH treatment [1, 25, 42]. Studies found that preoperative tearing of the round ligament can lead to lower mental and psychological scores in BDDH patients after hip arthroscopy, making it more difficult to achieve PASS, and significantly increasing the patient’s risk of reoperation or even THA [1, 20].

[vii] The femoral head, meanwhile, remains within the acetabulum, constrained by the ligamentum teres, but may rotate to assume a posteroinferior position relative to the shaft.

 

[viii] The primary reported cause is laxity of the soft tissues adjacent to the joint, including the round ligament of the femoral head and laxity of the joint capsule associated with hip dysplasia (Fossum, 2014).

Abstract

Background Hip-preserving surgery in young patients frequently reveals lesions of the ligamentum teres (LT). Histological and clinical evidence supports that those lesions could be source of intraarticular hip pain. It has been hypothesized that LT degeneration could be linked to the abnormal positioning of the fovea outside the lunate surface during various daily motions. We introduce the “fossa-foveolar mismatch” (FFM) by determining the trajectory of the fovea in the fossa during hip motions, enabling a comparison across diverse hip-pathomorphologies.

Conclusions The FFM-index showed excellent intraobserver reliability and interobserver reproducibility for all motions. This innovative approach deepens our understanding of biomechanical implications, providing valuable insights for identifying patient populations at risk. 


Fig. 1 The fossa-foveolar mismatch is illustrated by displaying (A) no fossa-foveolar mismatch and (B) presence of a fossa-foveolar mismatch with a pathologic foveolar tracking pattern for the motion of everyday life internal/external rotation in 90 degrees flexion (Commons Attribution 4.0 International)

Fig. 3 (A) Based on CT of the pelvis and distal femur; (B) we created a 3D model; (C) The acetabular fossa was digitally removed; (D) the fovea was identified and manually exaggerated; (E) finally, the model was subjected to standardized movements within physiological range of motion and the foveolar tracking pattern was determined. (Commons Attribution 4.0 International)

Australopithecus afarensis

  AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 3

Short retelling of chapter 3 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 3. THE DAWN OF SURGERY The animal kingdom exhibits numerous forms of social support, many of which lay the groundwork for rudimentary medical practices. Insects like bees, fish such as cichlids, amphibians like bullfrogs, reptiles like crocodiles, and most birds and mammals demonstrate care for their offspring. Lions and wolves feed injured kin, while buffalo and flocking birds collectively defend against predators. Marine mammals assist struggling companions to the surface for air, and elephants help free trapped herd members from mud or aid them in standing. These behaviors hint at the origins of altruism, a trait that extends to early medical instincts. Animals also engage in self-medication and basic healing. Birds employ various techniques to combat ectoparasites, while moths, ant...

New Biomechanics in Illustrations

  The New Biomechanics of the Hip Joint: A Pictorial Essay S.V. Arkhipov  INTRODUCTION  First in the history of humanity, the mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and the pathomechanics of walking associated with its damage is found in the ancient literary monument “Book of Genesis” (32:24-24,31-32), created approximately 3600 years ago (2019Arkhipov_Skvortsov; 2023 Архипов ). Fig. 1 The LCF = ligamentum teres of the hip joint, drawing by H.V. Carter (1870Grey). Fig. 2 Pencil drawing “Crossing of the Jabbok River” based on the “Book of Genesis” 32:22 (author: Lyudmila Arkhipova, 2008). The first description of LCF in a medical text is given by Hippocrates of Kos in the treatise “Instruments of Reductions” or “ Mochlicus ”, written in the V-IV centuries BCE (1844Littre). We know that with the normal LCF, walking it is light, rhythmic, and symmetrical, but we don't know “why ”. See video:  Supplement 1  Normal Walking We don't even know why we wi...
