Fragments from the book: Rauber A. Lehrbuch der Anatomie des Menschen. Erster Band. (1897). The author discusses the anatomy and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), suggesting that it stimulates the production of synovial fluid. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1897RauberA.

b. Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae. Fig. 393-396.

Rings um den Rand der Hüftpfanne legt sich ein dicker fibröser Ring, eine Pfannenlippe, Labrum glenoidale, welche die Tiefe der Pfanne zu einer mehr als halbkugeligen Höhlung ergänzt und die Incisura acetabuli überbrückt. Dieser überbrückende Teil heisst Lig. transversum acetabuli. Durch die so entstandene Lücke drängt sich ein Fettpolster in die Fossa acetabuli ein; aber auch ein Band entspringt in der Fossa acetabuli, ein platter bindegewebiger Strang, Lig. teres femoris, dessen anderes Ende in der Fovea capitis femoris befestigt ist. Die starke Capsula articularis entspringt aussen an derBasis der Pfannenlippe, etwa 5-7 mm von deren freiem Rande entfernt. AmOberschenkel erstreckt es sich vorn bis zur Linea intertrochanterica herab, während es hinten am Schenkelhalse inseriert , lange bevor die Crista intertrochanterica erreicht ist.

Quote p. 277.

Das Schenkelbein, Femur. Fig. 273 und 274.

Am Schenkelbeine, dem grössten Knochen des Körpers , unterscheidet man, wie an anderen Röhrenknochen, zwei Endstücke und ein Mittelstück, Schaft oder Körper.

Das obere Endstück, Extremitas capitata, zeigt den Kopf und den Hals. Der kugelige Kopf, Caput femoris, besitzt eine Gelenkfläche, welche etwa 2/3 eines Sphäroides umfasst, das oben etwas abgeplattet ist. Unter der Mitte der Gelenkfläche liegt eine rundliche Vertiefung, Fovea capitis, in welcher das Ligamentum teres femoris sich ansetzt. Die seitliche Stellung des Gelenkkopfes ist am Schenkelbeine entschiedener ausgeprägt, als am Humerus, indem ein sehr langer Hals, Collum femoris, die Anfügung des Kopfes an den Schaft vermittelt.

Quote p. 380.

Über die Bedeutung des Lig. teres femoris liegen zahlreiche Untersuchungen vor. Es ergiebt sich, dass es während der Wachstumsperiode Blutgefässträger zum Schenkelkopfe ist. später aber wesentlich als Hemmungsband und Umtreibungsmittel der Synovia wirkt.

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.

Content [i] Annotation [ii] Original text [iii] References [iv] Source & links [v] Notes [vi] Authors & Affiliations [vii] Keywords [i] Annotation Abstract of the article: Michaels G, Matles AL. The role of the ligamentum teres in congenital dislocation of the hip (1970). The authors proposed an analogy for the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) as a “ball and chain control” and noted that it can spontaneously reduce congenital hip dislocation. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1970MichaelsG_MatlesAL . [ii] Original text Quote p. 199 Many papers in the literature have implicated the ligamentum teres as a hindrance to the late open reduction of a congenitally dislocated hip. Occasionally the ligamentum teres has been reported to be absent. However, in most cases it is hypertrophied and elongated. Our present knowledge confirms the fact that congenital dislocation of t...
