1779SandifortE

  

The author talks about an anatomical specimen of a femur that does not have a fossa of the femoral head – the area of attachment of the ligament of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). This publication was later mentioned by 1830HildebrandtGF_WeberEH.

Quote p. 135

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).

1851CooperAP

  Fragments of the book Cooper AP. A Treatise on Dislocations and Fractures of the Joints (1851) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author discusses changes in the LCF during hip fractures, dislocations and role of its blood vessels in supplying the femoral head.   Quote pp. 51-52 ON DISLOCATIONS IN GENERAL. … Mr. Howden, who was one of our most intelligent apprentices at Guy's Hospital, and was afterwards surgeon in the army, related the following case: - A man had his thigh dislocated upwards and backwards on the ilium, which was soon after reduced; the next day a considerable swelling was observed on the part, which continued to increase, accompanied with rigors, and in four days the patient died. On dissection, the capsular ligaments, and ligamentum teres, were found entirely torn away, and a considerable quantity of pus extravasated in the surrounding parts." * (See Minutes of the Physical Society, Guy's Hospital, Nov. 12th, 1791.)

1495Johannes de Ketham

  Fragment from the book Johannes de Ketham. Fasciculus medicine (1495). An excerpt from the treatise by Mondino de Luzzi describing the anatomy and role of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) damage in the genesis of hip diseases. The pathogenesis of lameness and soft tissue atrophy of the leg in LCF pathology is discussed. The cited author uses and explains a rare synonym for LCF – « vertebrum ». The original in Latin in our adaptation. The treatise by Mondino de Luzzi was also published in other works: 1541MondinoL_DryanderJ , 1550CortiM .  See our commentary at the link:   1495Johannes de Ketham [Rus]. Quote.

  Saying of the rabbi Abun bar Ḥiyya in the tractate of the Babylonian Talmud Shevuot. Jerusalem Talmud was written between about 375 - 425 in Israel.

1833GerdyPN

  P.N. Gerdy, in his experiment, discovered tensioning of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) during thigh adduction. At the same time, it was noted for the first time that the consequence of LCF tension during hip adduction is a downward and lateral displacement of the femoral head. Normally, this mechanism provides unloading of the upper articular surfaces when supporting one leg (see 1874SavoryWS ). The translation from French was done in collaboration with ChatGPT 3.5.   Gerdy PN. Physiologie médicale, didactique et critique. T. 1. Paris: Librairie de Crochard, 1833. [fragment] Quote pp. 551-554   L'inclinaison de la cuisse en dehors, que l'on nomme son abduction, est un mouvement assez étendu, mais qui pourtant ne permet pas à la cuisse de se placer perpendiculairement à sa direction verticale.
