According to the author, the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is intended to prevent dislocations in all directions. A. Cooper discusses traumatic obturator dislocation of the hip joint and LCF injury in more detail.

Quote p. 148

Das ligamentum teres hat die Bestimmung, Luras tionen nach allen Richtungen hin zu verhindern, besonders aber nach abwärts, denn wenn die Schenkel weit ausein andergespreizt werden, wie z. B. bei'm Fechten, so würde der Kopf des linken Oberschenkelknochens in Gefahr feyn, aus seiner Gelenkhöhle zu schlüpfen, was aber durch dieses Ligament verhindert wird.

The ligamentum teres is designed to prevent dislocations in all directions, especially downwards, because when the thighs are widely abducted, such as in fencing, the head of the left femur may be at risk of slipping out of its joint socket, but this is prevented by this ligament. 

Quote pp. 153-154

Man ist der irrigen Meinung gewesen, daß bei der Luration in das foramen ovale bas ligamentum teres werde, weil nach Zerschneidung des Kapselbandes am Leichname der Knochenkopf über den untern Rand Des acetabulum gedrängt werden kann, ohne das ligamentum teres zu zerreißen. Aber die Lupation in das foramen ovale ereignet sich, wenn die Schenkel weit auseinanderges fpreist werden, wobei das ligamentum teres in große Spannung fommt. Wird nun der Knochenkopf aus dem acetabulum getrieben so zerreißt das Ligament, ehe er noch gänzlich seine Gelenkhöhle verläßt.

It was erroneous to believe that there is no damage to the ligamentum teres during dislocation into the obturator foramen, because after cutting the capsular ligament on a cadaver, the bone head can be displaced beyond the lower edge of the acetabulum without tearing the ligamentum teres. However, dislocation into the obturator foramen occurs when the thighs are abducted, resulting in significant tension on the ligamentum teres. If, in this process, the bone head is forced out of the acetabulum, the ligament tears before it completely exits the joint socket.

Classification of Neoplasms of the LCF

   Version : 20240228 Reports on neoplasms of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) are scarce. Among them, we can distinguish malignant and benign neoplasms. We categorized xanthomas and synovial cysts as distinct types of pathological alterations in tissues closely tumors. Primary of the LCF tumors are possible from various types of connective tissue and theoretically from nervous tissue. Neoplasms of the ligament can also be the result of metastasis and infiltration. Classification of Neoplasms of the LCF (Vers. 2.1.0) 1. Primary malignant tumors     Malignant chondroma 2. Primary benign tumors     Tenosynovial giant cell tumor     Pigmented villonodular synovitis     Synovial chondromatosis      Synovial osteochondroma      Fibromyxoid pseudotumor 3.
