Fragments from the book: Du Verney JG. Traité des maladies des os (1751). The author discusses the topography of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), its role and injury in dislocations, using the rare synonym ligament plat. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1751DuVerneyJG.


Quote pp. 223-224.

La cavité cotyloïde est proportionnée au volume de la tête du fémur. Tout cet article est embrassé par un ligament d'une tissure fort compacte. Il prend naissance de toute la circonférence de la cavité, dont il couvre le sourcil cartilagineux, qui est fortifié par le tendon du muscle droit grêle; &, après avoir embrassé l'article, & même le col du fémur, il va s'implanter tout autour de la naissance de ce col. Ce ligament contient la tête du fémur dans la cavité cotyloïde, & retient l'humeur glaireuse qui enduit cet article. Il y a un autre ligament qui eft caché dans la cavité. Ce ligament est plat, & attaché par une de ses extrémités au ligament qui forme l'echancrure de la cavité, & à la partie voisine de cette même cavité; & par l'autre il s'implante dans un petit enfoncement qui est environ, aux deux tiers de la tête du fémur au-defsous de son centre. Il est à remarquer qu'il n'occupe pas toute la cavité de cet enfoncement. Ce ligament fert de soutient à la cuisse.

On voit préfentement par quel art ce ligament est tellement caché dans cette cavité qu'il ne peut être comprimé en aucune maniere par les roułemens de la tête du fémur. L'enfoncement qui est au dedans de la cavité a toute la profondeur nécessaire pour le loger commodement, & lui laisser la liberté d'obéir en tout sens aux divers mouvemens de la tête du fémur, sans en être comprimé.

 

Quote pp. 225-226. 

Il est aisé de juger que quand la tête de l'os eft forcée de quitter sa place naturelle, elle doit se luxer plus facilement en devant, & en en-bas, que des autres côtés; prémierement, parce que la cavité est moins profonde de ce côté-là; secondement à raison de l'echancrure qui s'y trouve, & qui n'est fermée que par un ligament, ce qui facilite la fortie de la tête ; troisiemement, parce que le ligament qui est au dedans de la cavité, etant fort proche du bord de l'echancrure qui regarde le trou ovalaire, la tête du fémur peut s'eloigner plus de ce côté-là que des autres, sans que ce ligament fouffre beaucoup de tension, & fans qu'il s'oppose à la luxation en en-bas; car la tête du fémur ne peut abandonner sa place qu'à mesure que ce ligament prête, ou quand il est rompu.

Il est encore aisé de juger que la Juxation en en-haut, c'est-à-dire fur Pos pubis, est la plus difficile, & la plus fâcheuse; prémierement parce que, les parois de la cavité etant fort profondes par en haut, elles forment un plus grand obstacle; secondement parce que le ligament plat ne peut, sans se rompre, s'allonger autant qu'il eft nécessaire pour que la cuisse se luxe en ce sens-là; troisiemement, parce que les muscles qui s'opposent à cette luxation, lesquels font principalement les obturateurs & les fef fiers, ont une très-grande force.

Dans les luxations qui se font en arriere le ligament plat doit plutôt se rompre, & fe detacher de l'endroit où il tient à la cavité; & c'est aussi une des causes qui fait qu'elles arri vent plus rarément.

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.

ARTICLE ANNOUNCEMENT: THE BOOK OF BERESHIT AS A GREAT COMPILATION

  Article Announcement: «The Book of Bereshit as a Great Compilation of Texts and Meanings from the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt: A Pilot Culturological, Medical, Archaeological, and Textological Examination of the Legends versus Traditional Attribution»   By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD  Joensuu, Finland   Abstract The Book of Bereshit (Genes is) was composed in Egypt during the 17th century BCE and reached its definitive protographic form following the Minoan eruption  of Thera . This study argues that the work was a collaborative effort between an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist and an outstanding scribe of Asiatic origin, operating within a sophisticated administrative and scientific framework. By analyzing anatomical descriptions, Bronze Age economic data, and climatic markers, this paper demonstrates that the text originated as a high-level socio-political commission within the Egyptian House of Life.

Background and Hypothesis Arkhipov S.V., Independent Researcher, Joensuu, Finland Abstract: The article presents, theoretically and graphically substantiates the technique of a new arthroscopic approach to the central compartment of the hip joint. It is proposed to introduce the optical system of the arthroscope from below through the acetabular notch without traction. Similar approaches were used for puncture, arthroscopy, arthrography, and arthrotomy of the hip joint. Diagnostics using the described lower portal will exclude complications caused by distraction of the leg and compression of the perineal support during surgery.   CONTENTS PART 1.
