The author, one of the first pathologists in Europe, the first to draw changes in the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in the consequences of traumatic and congenital hip dislocation.

Luxatio femorum congenita.

XIX. 2.

Die fibrösen Gelenkkapseln hatten eine große Larität, so daß die Schenkelköpfe nicht in den Gelenkpfannen zurückgehalten wurden, sondern sich an der äußern Fläche der Darmbeine aufstüßten. Nach Eröffnung der Gelenkkapseln zeigte sich zuerst das runde Band (d) dünn und übermäßig verlängert; 2) die Schenkelköpfe (e) mißgestaltet, abgeplattet und gleichsam abgerieben; 3) die Gelenkpfannen, welche in Hinsicht der Tiefe kaum der fossa glenoidea des Schulterblattes gleichkamen und kaum Plaz genug boten, damit die Schenkelköpfe auf ihnen ruhen konnten.

XIX. 2. Explanation of the mechanism of congenital hip dislocations.

Congenital hip dislocation.

XIX. 2.

The fibrous joint capsules were significantly stretched, so that the femoral heads were not retained in the acetabula but rested on the outer surface of the ilium. After opening the joint capsules, first appeared the round ligament (d), thin and excessively elongated; 2) the femoral heads (e) were deformed, flattened, and seemingly worn down; 3) the acetabula, which in terms of depth hardly matched the glenoid fossa of the scapula and barely provided enough space for the femoral heads to rest on them.

Fig. 3 shows the same area from behind. Highlighted are the spinous processes (c) and vertebral spines (f), round ligaments (d), femoral heads (e), and acetabulum (g).

  «Prof. Partridge in his lectures on anatomy at King's College was accustomed to compare the Ligamentum Teres, in its function, to the leathern straps by which the body of a carriage is suspended on springs » ( 1874SavoryWS ). Perhaps Nikolai Pirogov listened to these lectures ( 1859PirogoffN ).   The analogy that Richard Partridge used could have arisen after reading the monograph Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . In it, the author depicted a cart and a pelvis resting on the head of one and two femurs. However, there is no mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in the chart descriptions. References Savory WS. On the use of the ligamentum teres of the hip joint.

2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV

  Ancient Textual Sources on Ligamentum Teres: Context and Transmission S.V. Arkhipov, I.V. Prolygina   KEYWORDS: ancient medicine; ancient traumatology; Galen; Hippocrates; hip joint; ligamentum capitis femoris; ligament of head of femur; ligamentum teres. SUMMARY Background. One of the least researched anatomical structures of the human body is the ligament of head of femur, most often referred to as ligamentum teres. The history of the nomination of this term, medical contexts of its use, the etymology and the first synonyms (Figure 1) are not sufficiently understood. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the most complete collection of evidence from ancient medical authors about the term ligamentum teres, trace the history of its nomination and analyze the gradual changes in the level of knowledge about the anatomy, mechanical and geometric properties of this structure, its pathology and treatment methods. Methods. The study is based on an inter...
