[ii] Original text

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.

The experiments were conducted on a specially designed mechatronic testing rig. The concept of the important role of the ligamentous apparatus is further illustrated by a set of demonstrative mechanical models. The...

Catalog. Classifications of LCF Pathology

The classifications are intended to systematize of ligamentum capitis femoris pathology and assist in the development of general approaches to its description, registration, analysis and treatment. Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, hip joint, histology, pathological anatomy, pathology, trauma INTRODUCTION In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to identify various, previously undescribed types of LCF pathology, which prompted the development of various modern classifications based on intraoperative observations. Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of the Ligamentum Teres Pathology, which has the form of a collection of classifiers, as well as a Classification of Functions of the Ligamentum Teres. The ...

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.

LCF in English Bibles

The primary source for translating the Bible into English is the Hebrew literary monument Torah. In its first part, the Book of Bereshit (32:33 ) , there is a mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), which in Hebrew is called « גיד » (gheed, gid) (1923, 2004PreussJ; 2019ArkhipovSV_SkvortsovDV; 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). Probably one of the earliest written translations of the Bible into Old English was made by Ælfric of Eynsham, who worked approximately between 955–1010 CE (1050Aelfric’s). In Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Paraphrase, the Hebrew concept of « גיד » [gheed], that is, LCF, is mentioned twice in the 25th and 32nd verses of the XXXII Chapter of the Book of Genesis and is called «sine» ( Figure 1, 2 ). In Middle English, translators Nicholas of Hereford and John Wycliffe named LCF as «synwe», and in John Purvey's Bible edition - «senewe» (1850ForshallJ_MaddenF). In Bibles in Early Modern English, LCF is designated as «senow» and «senowe» (1530TyndaleW; 1535CoverdaleM; 1...

The First Scientific Mention

European science has known the LCF for about 2500 years. It is the most important functional connection of the hip joint. The first person to describe the LCF was Hippocrates (c. 460-370 BCE). A written mention of the LCF is found in §1 of his treatise "On the Instrument of redactions". In our opinion, a book created in the library of the Asclepeion of the island of Kos. Hippocrates did not dissection of the human body, did not operate on the hip joint, did not have a CT scan and MRI. How he could discover the LCF? In our view, it is possible that Hippocrates treated a patient with an open hip dislocation.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 14

Short retelling of chapter 14 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 14. ESAU AND JACOB At 40, Isaac marries Rebekah, his cousin’s daughter. Their marriage is long childless until Rebekah conceives twins, detected prenatally, possibly by her large belly or palpation. Genesis states that at 60, Isaac fathers the twins, born naturally after 20 years of marriage. The first, Esau, emerges “red, all hairy like a cloak,” followed by Jacob, unremarkable but grasping Esau’s heel. Over time, their differences deepen: Esau, a skilled hunter, roams fields; Jacob, gentle, stays in tents. Famine forces the family from “Beer-Lahai-Roi” in the Negev to “Gerar’s Philistine king,” then to “Gerar’s valley,” and finally to Beersheba. At 40, Jacob, urged by Rebekah, deceives blind Isaac to steal Esau’s inheritance, sparking enmity. Rebekah advises Jacob to flee to rela...
