The selected excerpt discusses the anatomy, mechanical
properties and function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Augustin
Walther believed that the LCF supports the body, limits movement, and shunts
the pressure of the femoral head onto the upper part of the acetabulum. Similar
views were expressed by 1820PallettaGB, 1857TurnerW, 1874SavoryWS,
1879TillauxPJ. In Russian-language literature, we find a modified quotation from
the author: “softens the impacts and reliably protects the joint” in the works:
1932ВоробьевВП; 1939МаркизовФП; 1968ЛесгафтПФ; 1968РевенкоТА; 1962ШнейдеровЗИ; 1978КовановВВ; 1948,1985ИваницкийМФ.

Alterum,
et teres articuli ligamentum, ad eandem incisuram, quae a latere interno, et
in acetabulo est, sub orbiculari nascitur, quo loco pinguedo insternitur, et
mox ipsum vinculum, in acetabulo, atque peculiari sinu, superius producitur;
tandem vero capitis vertice, qui cervicem femoris respicit, idem veluti
defixum videtur. Hoc vinculum, ab sui origine, ad acetabulum sinumque
tenaciter adhaeret, ac totum tendinosum dinosum est, et calami scriptorii
crassitiem fere videndam refert, motusque complures dirigit, et orbiculare
defendit. Atque idem duplici in casu ea exequatur: nam, vel singulo crure
corpus cum coxendice nititur, et varie inclinat; vel sublatus pes totus liberius
agitator: utcunque vero haec ita fiant, sola divaricatione excepta teres
ligamentum hos motus nixusque magnos, ac graves optume coercet. Quare saltu,
lapsu, et ubicunque caput ossis femoris, admodum in acetabuli coxendicis
superiorem ambitum, et externum illidit, brevius hoc, et robustum, quasi
centrale fulcrum, impetus illatos reprimit, et articulum proxime defendit. |
The other,
the round ligament of the joint, begins in the same notch, laterally and
inside the acetabulum, under the circular [ligament], here it is covered with
fatty tissue, and soon the ligament itself in the acetabulum, in a special
sinus, continues its way upward; finally, it is attached to the top of the
femoral head, located on the femoral neck and is seen as if hanging down.
This connection is firmly attached to the sinus of the acetabulum, it
consists entirely of tendon tissue and is almost the thickness of a writing
pen; it directs many movements and protects the circular [ligament]. And she
performs two important actions: either supports the body on one leg, while
holding the pelvis, and varies its inclinations; or, when the leg is raised,
allows him to move more freely; no matter how it occurs, the round ligament,
with the exception of abduction only, is the best at limiting these large and
heavy movements and forces. Therefore, when the head of the femur collides
with the upper part of the acetabulum of the hip joint, this shorter and
stronger than the external [ligament], as if the central support, softens the
impacts and reliably protects the joint from them. |
