BIOMECHANICS OF THE HIP JOINT WITHOUT LCF

 

Biomechanics of the hip joint without LCF

Do you remember the comparison of the ligamentum teres with the spring element of a cart? (1874SavoryWS). An analogy could arise after reading the book Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801). Most orthopedists still think so. For more details see: https://roundligament.blogspot.com/2024/04/1836-1840partridger.html  & 1836-1840PartridgeR (remembering the history of orthopedics)

Edwin Smith Papyrus vis-à-vis Book of Genesis

   A correspondence has been found between the level of medical knowledge in the Edwin Smith Papyrus and the Book of Genesis. Were both works written during the same historical period? What do medical historians and Egyptologists think about this?  Based on the analysis I conducted, I believe that the protograph of the Book of Genesis was written at the end of the Second Intermediate Period in Egypt, with the collaboration of an Asian diviner and an Egyptian physician. Arguments in more detail are presented in my online article: Архипов С . В . Кто и когда впервые описал повреждение ligamentum capitis femoris ? (WHO FIRST DESCRIBED THE LIGAMENTUM CAPITIS FEMORIS INJURY AND WHEN? This article is available in Russian, and translation to your desired language can be done using a browser plugin).

Key Role of the LCF

  In the experiments conducted on the pelvis-femur-muscle-ligaments model, we found that when the contralateral pelvic drop occurs, the ligament of the head of femur become maximally tense; simultaneously, there is relaxation and lengthening of the gluteus medius muscle; the pelvis spontaneously rotates towards the stance limb (forward), and the load on the hip joint decreases. Thanks to the functioning of the ligament of the head of femur the walking is smooth, rhythmic, and energy-efficient.
