[i] Annotation

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.

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.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 8

  Short retelling of chapter 1 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 8. THE LAND OF NOD Cain’s family settled in the land of "Nod," where they established a "city." We propose this tribal group followed a route later known as the Great Khorasan Road, leading Cain, son of Adam, to the Kermanshah Valley in the central Zagros Mountains. There, we believe he founded the settlement of "Enoch," its remnants linked to the archaeological site of Sheikh-e Abad (34°36'42"N, 47°16'11"E). In this village, the newcomers mastered musical instruments, developed metalworking techniques, and some adopted nomadic herding, living in "tents with flocks." As a farmer, Cain likely preserved knowledge of agriculture. Favorable conditions, division of labor, and acquired skills probably fueled population growth among thes...

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...
