Catalog. Arthroscopic reconstruction

 

Introduction 

Currently, ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) reconstruction using arthroscopic technologies is considered promising. According to the literature available to us, the first such operation was performed by Marc J. Philippon, which he first reported on in May 2006 (2006PhilipponMJ). Until now, reconstruction of LCF using minimally invasive technologies has not yet become widespread. The long-term results of arthroscopic LCF repair are still uncertain due to insufficient number of surgical procedures performed and short follow-up period (2014O'DonnellJM_SinghPJ).

1910SuttonHA_DrinkerCK

  Fragments from the book Sutton HA, Drinker CK. Osteology and syndesmology (1910). The selected fragments discuss the anatomy and topography of the ligament of the femoral head (LCF). According to the authors, this structure has low strength, but Galen of Pergamon (2-3rd cent.) described it as «the strongest» ( 1829KühnCG ). [Eng] Quote 1. p. 76 . The Cotyloid Lig't., or Cartilage, surmounts the edge of the Acetabulum except where it is broken by the Notch. This ligament simply deepens the cavity. The centre of the Acetabulum, by a rough area, the Cotyloid Fossa, attaches the Ligamentum Teres. Quote 2. p. 79. Head. Slightly more than a half sphere in shape. An articular surface for the Acetabulum occupies it, except at a fossa which attaches the Ligamentum Teres. Quote 3. p. 86. Two connect the bones. They are: 1. Ligamentum Teres: — Weak.

Localization of LCF Pathology

  Version : 20240418 Localization of LCF pathology is classified based on the anatomical-topographical principle. It is assumed that the LCF does not end near the attachment site but penetrates into it. LOCALIZATION OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Middle part 2. Distal end 3. Proximal end 4. Distal attachment area 5. Proximal attachment area 6. Medial surface 7. Lateral surface 8. Anterior edge 9. Posterior edge 10. Transsynovial 11. Subsynovial 12. Total Lesion The medial surface faces the bottom of the acetabulum. The lateral surface faces the femoral head. Transsynovial pathology implies changes including or only involving the synovial membrane. Subsynovial pathology is localized exclusively beneath the synovial membrane of LCF. Pathology can involve multiple parts of LCF, for example, damage to the distal end and proximal attachment area in a transacetabular fracture.   The distal part of LCF attaches directly to the bone of fovea capitis femoris. Along...
