We are publishing a chapter from the fifth edition of «Morris's Human Anatomy» (1914). A significant portion of it is dedicated to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The original text has been edited by Wood Jones. Particularly notable are the illustrations depicting the LCF. Some of them are improved drawings by the first author ( 1879MorrisH ). Quote pp. 276-284 1. THE HIP-JOINT Class. — Diarthrosis. Subdivision. — Enarthrodia. The hip is the most typical example of a ball-and-socket joint in the body, the round head of the femur being received into the cup-shaped cavity of the acetabulum. Both articular surfaces are coated with cartilage, that covering the head of the femur being thicker above where it has to bear the weight of the body, and thinning out to a mere edge below; the pit for the ligamentum teres is the only part uncoated, but the cartilage is somewhat heaped up around its margin. Covering the acetabulum, the cartilage is horseshoe-shaped, a...
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!
