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.

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).

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.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

INFERIOR PORTAL FOR HIP ARTHROSCOPY: A PILOT STUDY PART 1. 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.
