1742WeitbrechtJ

The author describes the prismatic shape of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and the areas of its attachment. A summary of the Latin text is available in the translation of the treatise made by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland: «Round or Interarticular Ligament is perfectly concealed in the cavity of the acetabulum ; it is rather of a triangular or prismatic form, one edge of it looks upwards, another downwards, and the third is lost in the adipose substance ; it becomes rounder and more contracted as it approaches the depression in the head of the femur, into which it is inserted.» (see 1829,1833WeitbrechtJ).

Ligamentum teres capitis femoris. Description. Fig. 56. §. 7. The ligament, commonly called teres (f) (g), located within the acetabular cavity, when stretched, resembles a prism with three sides bounded by three angular lines. The first line (i) terminates at the upper angle, formed by the brow of the hip joint and the internal transverse ligament (§. 3.); The second terminates at the lower angle of the acetabulum, near the insertion point of the same ligament; The third (k) disappears in the capsule of the adipose gland (m). Thus, these lines define three sides. The first side (b) lies between the first and second lines, connecting to the internal transverse ligament, extending along it and naturally applying to the head of the femur. The second side (g) between the first and third lines extends within the mentioned glandular capsule and lies deep in the acetabular cavity. The third side between the second and third lines corresponds to the space between the end of the internal transverse ligament and the lower angle of the cavity and, depending on the position of the femoral head, may press against the acetabular cavity. The closer to the head, the more the ligament acquires a rounded shape. Finally, at the deep pit, which serves as a kind of seat on the spherical head, the ligament mass narrows and attaches obliquely after entering the smooth depression, presumably, in this depression, the ligament is held by some short fibers.

4cent.Gothic Bible

About the Book of Genesis of the Gothic Bible (4th century). A Gothic term that may have been used to refer to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of an animal and a human. See our commentary at the link: 4cent.Gothic Bible [Rus]. Quote [ Got ] Genesis 32:33 (possible term; original source lost) Translation [Eng] Genesis 32:33 The original text and English translation are currently unavailable to our project. Suggested term: … gabinda ( gabundi) … The closest analogue is in the Epistle to the Colossians 2:19 — jah ni habands haubiþ, us þammei all leik þairh gawissins jah gabindos auknando jah þeihando wahseiþ du wahstau gudis. — καὶ οὐ κρατῶν τὴν κεφαλήν , ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα διὰ τῶν ἁφῶν καὶ συνδέσμων ἐπιχορηγούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον αὔξει τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ θεοῦ . — And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

The authors reported a case of open hip dislocation and documented avulsion of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) from the acetabulum. The injured LCF appeared as a large cord-like structure, attached to the femoral head ( Fig. 1 ). Perhaps Hippocrates of Kos saw such an LCF in open dislocation of the hip and described it in his treatise «Mochlicus» ( 1886AdamsF ). One year later, the patient's x-ray revealed a significant narrowing of the joint space in the upper part of the hip joint ( Fig. 9 ). In our opinion, this to be a consequence of hyaline cartilage wear due to overload in the absence of LCF. In an unaffected hip joint, the width of the radiological joint space at the upper section than in the lower section ( Ossification of the LCF ). When examined one year after the injury, the patient could stand on one leg. We noticed that his body was excessively deviated towards the supporting hip joint, and the opposite half of the pelvis was elevated ( Fig. 8 ). This is a me

1875BrauneW

We present a study dedicated to the experimental investigation of the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Wilhelm Braune established that the LCF prevents hip supination and adduction, especially during flexion. In the conclusion of the study, the author writes: "It also remains to determine in which body movements this ligament function plays a role, as it is currently unclear why the femur requires a special fixing device…". Apparently, Wilhelm Braune did not have time to find the answer, since his outstanding monograph on LCF does not say a word ( Braune W, Fischer O. Der Gang des Menschen (1895 books.google ) . Based on our own experiments on mechanical models and research, we believe that adduction and supination of the hip, along with flexion, are observed at the beginning of the single-support period of the step. At this moment, tension occurs in the LCF, allowing to reduce the load on the upper segment of the femoral head. The LCF is also stretched in

2016ArkhipovaAS Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements.

Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements The classification of joints with flexible elements was first proposed by A.S. Arkhipova in 2016 and presented at conferences in 2016-2017 ( 2017АрхиповаАС ). Joints with flexible elements are divided by the author into detachable and non-detachable, three-axis, two-axis, and single-axis. Each can contain in various combinations one or more external and internal flexible elements - analogs of joint ligaments, including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Conditional designations of joints with flexible elements using the example of a ball joint: Detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Non-detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Flexible e

1879MorrisH

Fragments of the book Morris H. The anatomy of the joints of man (1879) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author discusses the anatomy of the LCF and describes his experiments to study its movement. Quote p p . 318-319 The acetabulum is partly articular, partly non-articular. The articular portion is of horseshoe shape, and extends inwards from the margin, more or less. It is altogether deficient at the cotyloid notch, which corresponds with the gap of the horseshoe. It is the widest at the iliac part, where it is over one inch from without inwards; then it very gradually gets narrower along the ischium, but widens out again at the ischial end of the cotyloid notch ; forwards from the pubo-iliac suture it narrows more rapidly, and does not extend quite up to the pubic end of the cotyloid notch. At its narrowest point in an adult bone it measures half an inch in width. When coated with cartilage, and fringed round with the cotyloid ligament, it fits very closel

Fragments from the Targum Jonathan on Genesis. Tractate was written between about 150 - 250 in lend of Israel. The text is a combination of a translation and commentary on the book of Bereshit. The unknown compiler mentions ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in an animal and an episode of its damage in a human. See our commentary at the link: 150-250Targum Jonathan [Rus]. Quote 1.

1679DiemerbroeckI

Fragments from the book Diemerbroeck I. Anatome corporis humani (1679). The author describes the pathology variants, function, topography and attachment of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The damage to the LCF in hip dislocation, symptoms and treatment are discussed. The text is similar to a paraphrase of Hegetor's work «On Causes» and Galen of Pergamon's commentary on Hippocrates' treatise «On Joints» ( 1745CocchiA ; 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ). Isbrand van Diemerbroeck uses many synonyms for LCF: nervus cartilaginosus, terete, teres, rotundum ligamentum, interius ligamentum. Quote p. 593. [Lat] CAPUT XIX. De Ossibus Femoris, & Cruris.

2014ArkhipovaAS

In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).
