1864LuschkaH

 

The author reports the presence of three bundles in the fibrous base of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). In addition, H. Luschka indicates that the arterial vessels of the LCF penetrate into the head of the femur.

Quote p. 266

Der dem Acetabulum congruente, jedoch etwas grössere sphärische Gelenkkopf des Femur ist bis auf eine kleine rundliche, etwa 10 Mm. breite Stelle — fovea capitis — mit einem glatten Knorpel überzogen, welcher in seinem geraden Durchmesser tiefer als im queren herabreicht. Jene an dev Grenze des inneren und mittleren Drittels befindliche knorpelfreie Grube dient dem sog. Lig. teres s. prismaticum Weitbrechtii zur Anheftung, welches von den Ecken der Incisura sowie von der Fovea acetabuli ausgeht, und demgemäss aus drei von Synovialhaut überzogenen Strängen besteht. Für die Function des Hüftgelenkes ist dieses Band jedenfalls keine Conditio sine qua non, indem es ohne Beeinträchtigung derselben fehlen kann, wie schon der Umstand beweisen mag, dass nach der glücklichen Einrichtung solcher Luxationen, durch die es unzweifelhaft zerrissen wurde, das feste Stehen und die Sicherheit des Ganges keine Einbusse erleiden.

The spherical head of the femur, congruent with the acetabulum but slightly larger, is covered with smooth cartilage except for a small circular area about 10 mm wide - the fovea capitis, which extends deeper in its straight diameter than in the transverse. The cartilage-free pit located at the border of the inner and middle thirds serves for the attachment of the so-called lig. teres or prismaticum by Weitbrecht (Weitbrechtii), originating from the corners of the notch and the fossa acetabulum, and accordingly consisting of three bundles covered with synovial membrane. For the function of the hip joint, this ligament, in any case, is not a necessary condition, since it can be absent without impairing function, as evidenced by the fact that after successful reduction of a dislocation, in which it was undoubtedly torn, stability and confidence in walking are not affected.

Quote p. 272

Mit ihrem Ramus acetabuli geht auch die Obturatoria in die Zusammensetzung der Gegend des Hüftgelenkes ein, indem derselbe durch die Incisur in die Pfanne eintritt, das Fettpolster ihrer Grube sowie das Lig. teres versorgt, durch welches etliche feinste Zweige ohne Ausnahme in den Schenkelkopf eindringen.

The acetabular branch of the obturator artery also contributes to the vascular supply of the hip joint, entering it through the acetabular notch, supplying the fat pad in its fossa and the lig. teres, through which several finest branches, without exception, pass into the head of the femur.
