Article by Walmsley T. A note on the retinacula of Weitbrecht (1916). The author discusses the embryonic development and relationships of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in humans and animals. A NOTE ON THE RETINACULA OF WEITBRECHT. By THOMAS WALMSLEY, M.B., Senior Demonstrator in Anatomy, University of Glasgow. The synovial membrane of the hip-joint is in extent and attachment similar to that of other diarthroses, but the retinacula of Weitbrecht (or ligaments of Stanley) lend to it a special interest. These retinacula are readily recognized on the interior of the capsule as flattened bands passing inwards towards the margin of the head of the femur from the attachment of the peripheral capsule. The following description of their constitution may be selected as expressive of current opinion. The retinacula are arranged in three groups, superior, middle, and inferior: structurally, they are synovial covered capsular reflections: morphologic...
The ligament of the head of femur, or round ligament, known as ligamentum capitis femoris in Latin, is a crucial element of the hip joint. The journal discusses its role, anatomy, development, pathology, classifications, treatment, diagnosis, synonyms, experiments, history of study, and the application of research results in veterinary science and biomechanics. It also collects and analyzes scientific research, images and intriguing facts about this element. THIS IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF INNOVATION!
