Femoris ossis caput absque illa fovea, cui adnectere sese ligamentum teres solet, ostensum nostro in Theatro est, dum totum hocce ligamentum plane deërat (i).	The head of the femur without the pit to which the ligamentum teres usually attaches was shown to us in Theatre [Anatomical Theater], while in this case the entire ligament was completely absent (i).

Human LCF intersection

HUMAN LCF INTERSECTION In the south of China, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the archaeological Neolithic site of Dingsishan was investigated. Burials of 355 people were found in this place. The authors of the article (2024YeZ_LiFJ) identified 91 skeletons with traces of manipulations with the remains. They are attributed to burials of the Dingsishan III-IV phase, aged 8.0-4.5 thousand years. 13 notches were found on the proximal part of various femurs. « Cutmarks on the femoral head, neck and intertrochanteric line, as well as along the medial linea aspera of the femoral shaft, suggest that soft tissue around the hip, including the iliofemoral ligament and the iliacus and adductor muscles, was severed to disarticulate the joint.» This and other postmortem bone injuries «... suggests that corpse treatment at Dingsishan included disarticulation » (2024YeZ_LiFJ). Figure 4 of the cited article shows the distribution and direction of cutmarks on human skeletons from Dingx...

The First Scientific Mention

European science has known the LCF for about 2500 years. It is the most important functional connection of the hip joint. The first person to describe the LCF was Hippocrates (c. 460-370 BCE). A written mention of the LCF is found in §1 of his treatise "On the Instrument of redactions". In our opinion, a book created in the library of the Asclepeion of the island of Kos. Hippocrates did not dissection of the human body, did not operate on the hip joint, did not have a CT scan and MRI. How he could discover the LCF? In our view, it is possible that Hippocrates treated a patient with an open hip dislocation.

Fragments from the book Rüdinger N. Die Gelenknerven des menschlichen Körpers (1857). The author found that the inferior branch of the obturator nerve reaches the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. Quote p. 18 Die das Gelenk auskleidende Synovialmembran gibt einen scheideähnlichen Fortsatz zum Lig. teres und communicirt zuweilen mit dem Schleimbeutel des Musc. iliacus internus. Quote p. 19 Das untere weiter nach abwärts laufende Aestchen (die Fortsetzung des Stämmchens), geht etwas tiefer nach vorn und löst sich zerstreut in dem Lig. pubo-femorale, mehr noch in dem Lig. ischio-femorale auf. Bei vorsichtiger Präparation und an Präparaten, die mit Essigsäure behandelt waren, konnte ich in der Regel einen Faden beobachten, der zur Incisura acetabuli geht, mit den Gefässen in das Gelenk tritt und sich in dem von Fett durchdrängten Zellgewebe und dem L...

If the dislocated and displaced hip could not remain in place, then the physician [Hippocrates] would have clearly indicated the incurability of this case, so that we would not be led astray. Don't those who hold the opposite opinion know about the nature of joints, ligaments and the teachings about these things in general? After all, the physician considered the cause of the mild or, on the contrary, complex displacement and ...

LCF of Pithecanthropus

The hip joint of Pithecanthropus erectus (Homo erectus) had a ligament of the head of the femur, in Latin called the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The femur of a male specimen was first discovered in 1892 by Eugène Dubois (1858-1940) on the island of Java (2004DeVosJ). The age of the sediment preserving the remains of the Java Man is estimated to be approximately in the range of 540-430 thousand years (2015JoordensJC_RoebroeksW). On the femoral head, a deep pit of the femoral head is noticeable—the trace of the distal attachment of the LCF ( sketchfab.com ). The location of the pit on the femoral head of Pithecanthropus is identical to that of Homo sapiens. In light of this, we assume that the Java Man walked similarly to anatomically modern humans. Illustration: Pithecanthropus had LCF The left femur of Java Man (Pithecanthropus erectus, Homo erectus), specimen from the Darwin Museum (Moscow); view from the medial side (photo by the author).
