Reason for intra-articular hip injection : Partial tear or degeneration of round ligament of the femur

  

[iii] Abstract

The Book of Genesis (Bereshith) was composed in Egypt during the 17th century BCE and reachedits definitive protographic form following the Minoan eruption of Thera. This study argues that thework was the result of a collaboration between an Egyptian polymath and a distinguished scribe ofAsiatic descent. By analyzing ancient texts, anatomical descriptions, archaeological data, Bronze Agecultural history, and climatic markers, this article demonstrates that the book emerged from the workof a high-ranking socio-political committee within the Egyptian House of Life. We argue that theinclusion of precise anatomical data, such as the ligamentum capitis femoris, serves as a diagnosticmarker of this Egyptian medical-scribal collaboration, challenging the late-date theories of thedocumentary hypothesis.

The femoral head receives its blood supply primarily from the extracapsular retinacular arteries. The contribution of the ligamentum teres artery, which is minor in children, diminishes further with growth [6].

Chung, S. M. (1976). The arterial supply of the developing proximal end of the human femur. Jbjs, 58(7), 961-970.

  

[v] 

There are three main sources of blood to the femoral head: the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries (branches of the deep femoral artery) and the foveal branch of the obturator artery (via the ligament of the head of the femur). There are three main sources of blood to the femoral head: the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries (branches of the deep femoral artery) and the foveal branch of the obturator artery (via the ligament of the head of the femur).

 

[vi]

Developmental Dysplasia of Hip (DDH): This study included one case of DDH. This was a 3-year-old female presenting with limp since infancy. X-ray B/L hip joint revealed supero-lateral migration of left femoral head with broken Shenton’s arch and increased acetabular angle. USG hip was non-contributory. MRI revealed superolateral and posterior dislocation of the left femoral head with mild T2/STIR hyperintensity, accompanied by a small, distorted femoral epiphysis showing delayed ossification. The left acetabulum appeared shallow, with an increased acetabular angle. There was also associated hypertrophy of the pulvinar and ligamentum teres. No labral abnormalities or signs of avascular necrosis of the femoral head were seen in our case. These findings are in agreement with Chander et al. [5] who found similar MRI findings.

 

[vii] 

Surgery was performed via a posterior approach. The femoral head fragment avulsed at the ligamentum teres was found incarcerated within the acetabulum. Although fractures of the AIIS and anterior wall were identified, sufficient acetabular coverage and stable press-fit fixation of a cementless cup were achieved without additional internal fixation. A dual mobility cup (DMC) and a cementless femoral stem were implanted 

  

[viii] 

The spherical articular structure at the proximal end of the femur, the caput femoris, contains on its surface the fovea capitis femoris (FCF), a distinct depression serving as the attachment site of the ligamentum capitis femoris, whose vascular structures contribute to the blood of the femoral head.

In addition, the FCF plays a central role in femoral tunnel drilling for ligamentum capitis femoris reconstruction, where the tunnel is directed through the foveal centre to restore native anatomy and biomechanics [2, 12].

  

[ix]

After all, the femoral head is firmly attached by the ligamentum teres, which prevents the epiphysis from slipping. 

After finishing the external examinations the skin and subcutaneous tissue is split from the perineum to the chin. The skin has to be striped back till the vertebral column. After exposing the hip joints, the ligamentum teres major is cut on the head of the femur.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 5

  Short retelling of chapter 5 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 5.  ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living." From a genetic perspective, they are depicted as siblings, with an age difference of 18–25 years. According to the biblical epic, they formed humanity’s first family, sustaining themselves on pre-existing fruits and seeds. Their initial home was the "garden in Eden," located "in the east" relative to the narrator. The text identifies geographic markers for Eden’s location: lands like "Asshur," "Cush," and "Havilah," and rivers named "Pishon," "Gihon," "Hiddekel," and "Phrath." The narrator also notes the region’s economic value, mentioning "gold," ...

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...

1705PetitJL

  Fragments from the book Petit JL. L'Art de Guérir les Maladies des Os (1705,  first edition).  The author writes about anatomy, role, and damage of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in hip dislocation. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. Quote 1. Ch. VII. p. 64. … outre que l'articulation du bras n'a que des ligamens fort lâches, & n'est point assujettie par un ligament rond comme la cuisse, d'où vient qu'il fait toutes sortes de mouvemens avec vitesse. Quote 2. Ch. XII. p. 106. 4. Il y a un ligament rond qui s'oppose à la luxation. Ce ligament prend son origine de la tête du femur, & s'insere dans la cavité de l'ischion; à la verité il ne s'insere pas directement au fond de la cavité ny au milieu de la tête, ce qui fait qu'il ne peur pas s'opposer à toutes les especes de luxations, comme nous le ferons voir dans les differences.
