Review of the Article by S.V. Arkhipov "Why Restoration of the Acetabular Labrum May Be Ineffective?: A Note on the Mysterious 'Dark Matter' of the Hip Joint".
This review focuses on the analysis of argumentation, as
requested. The author asserts that restoration of the acetabular labrum fails
to prevent hip joint instability and osteoarthritis when the ligamentum capitis
femoris (LCF) is elongated. This claim is supported by mathematical
calculations, experiments on a mechanical model, and references to existing
literature.
The argumentation rests on two key points. First, the author
demonstrates that a normal-length LCF stabilizes the joint by generating a horizontal
force that presses the acetabulum against the femoral head. This is
substantiated by calculations: with a body mass of 47.76 kg and an LCF angle of
20º, the horizontal component of the reaction force reaches 15.35 kg at rest
and 16.39 kg during walking, sufficient to counter a separating load of 72.11
kg. Equations (2), (3), and (4) logically derive these values, while
experiments on the model visualize the effect (Fig. 1a). Citations of Pauwels
(2012) and the author’s own studies (2024a, 2024c) bolster credibility, though
the lack of detailed experimental descriptions limits reproducibility.
Second, the author argues that an elongated LCF destabilizes
the joint, inducing subluxation. Calculations show that at the same 20º angle,
the horizontal force (15.35 kg) shifts medially, reducing the dislocation
resistance threshold to 44.26 kg—below the single-leg stance body weight of
47.76 kg. This is supported by experiments (2024b) where LCF elongation in the
model caused acetabular displacement. However, the argument is weakened by
insufficient clinical data: the author mentions patients’ intuitive
compensations (pelvic tilt) but provides no statistical or observational
evidence, rendering conclusions speculative.
The strength of the argumentation lies in its use of
biomechanical calculations and alignment with established anatomical concepts
(Kapandji, 2009; Mortensen et al., 2025). Its weakness is a limited empirical
foundation: model experiments do not fully replicate a living joint, and
references to historical works (Gerdy, 1833) require modern validation. The
"dark matter" metaphor for LCF adds originality but does not enhance
scientific rigor.
In conclusion, the argumentation is compelling within the
framework of biomechanical logic and calculations but demands more clinical
evidence. The thesis that labral restoration is ineffective without LCF
correction is theoretically sound, yet its practical significance remains
uncertain due to a lack of real-world data.
