Fragments of the book by J.Z. Platner «Institutiones Chirurgiae rationalis...» (1747) with mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author describes the LCF as a durable structure that can be damaged by traumatic hip dislocations and also become pathologically altered: weakened, elongated, and disappear. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet.

§. 1192.

Femur parte sua suprema habet magnum teretemque processum, qui oblique ad os coxæ procedit, quem cervicem appellant. Hæc cervix, intus rara & cavernosa, desinit in magnum & rotundissimum caput, cartilagine etiam mollitum, quod in sinum rotundum coxæ conjicitur. Sinus Anatomicis κοτύλη, vel acetabulum, vocatur, qui in junioribus ex tribus ossibus, quæ media cartilagine inter se committuntur, constat, ex ilio, ischio, & osse pectinis. Etiam is cartilaginosus est. Cartilago tamen in parte ejus infima & externa deficit, quo loco sita est major glandula, ex qua axungia in articulum fertur, & ubi etiam huic sinui inseritur illud validum ligamentum, quod ex medio femoris capite educitur a. Sinus ille in summa parte profundior, in inferior minus desidens habet oram superius valde extan tem, e latere autem, & foramen ovale versum, excisam, qua re efficitur, ut femur melius interiora versum & ad coxam adduci possit. Super hanc oræ incisuram transversum ligamentum est, quod infra haud inhærescit sed lato cavo pervium est. Sub hoc arteria venaque ex cruralibus eductæ in acetabulum ad ligamentum illud internum camque glandulam feruntur. Per illud etiam cavum effertur glandula illa major, in propinquo sita, si hæc a capite femoris premitur, id quod incidit si femur exteriora versum movetur, & ab altero abducitur b. Ora illius sinus, vel acetabuli, cartilaginosa est, cum qua committitur ligamentum in toto corpore validissimum, quod, manticulæ in modum, articulum comprehendit. Ubi vero in ora incisuram & ligamentum transversum esse dixi ibi & manticula & ora cartilaginosa, illi ligamento transverso inhærescit, ita, ut hoc infra, prout dixi, pervium sit. Aliud ligamentum valens & durum, quod vulgo teres vocant, fere ex medio femoris capite eductum sinui inseritur, quo etiam articulus multum adstringitur. Validissimis etiam musculis hunc articulum contineri, nemo ignorat.

§ 1194.

Quamvis vero hoc rarius evenire existimem, observationibus tamen compertum est, nonnumquam femoris rotundum caput ex profundiori coxæ sinu semel & omnino casu quodam atque vi fuisse expulsum. A vero autem propius videtur, hoc fieri disrupto illo interiori valido ligamento, quare ob id, & cum etiam illud, quod articulum comprehendit, seu manticula, mulrum infirmari sub his casibus soleat, os, quod sic vi emotum fuit, quamvis reponatur, non continetur, sed mox iterum erumpit.

a Vid. Acta Med. Berolinensia Vol. X. p. 107. Ubi legitur, homini adulto femur vi distractum ac emotum, post feliciter repositum, fuisse, ita, ut homo perfecte, & sine claudicatione, fuerit sanatus. Hic Lipsiæ ante aliquot annos accidit, ut homo operarius ex contignatione rueret Chirurgus vocatus femur emotum esse ex omnibus collatis indiciis deprehendit, quod is etiam restituit. Homo vero cum brevi post ex gravi capitis vulnere objisset, ejus corpus ab Illustri WALTHERO, Ordinis nostri Decano, mihi summa semper observantia colendo, incisum est, qui invenit, os ex sinu suo in anteriorem inferioremque partem & os pubis versum promotum, a Chirurgo vero iterum conditum. Vidit enim ossis, quod exciderat, sedem in vexatis inflammatifsue, musculis. Illud vero sine negotio ex acetabulo expelli potuit, cum disruptum esset, tum internum ligamentum, tum alterius, quod articulum comprehendit, sive manticulæ, pars anterior, per cujus plagam caput femoris proruperat. Igitur fere crediderim, vix hunc articulum in adultis vi casuve & omnino posse promoveri, nisi ligamento interno difsupto. In vetulæ utroque femore defuisse hoc medium ligamentum, prodidit SALTZMANNUS in Decade Observationum illustrium anatomicarum Arg. MDCCXXV. Obs. VI. p. 10.

§. 1195.

At crebrius femur excidere solet, si id ab humore, qui in acetabulum confluxit, promovetur, quo illa ligamenta, vel laxantur, vel distenduntur, vel vorantur. Varia hujus rei occasio causaque est. Nonnumquam febris, variolarum, morbillorumque, nec non scabiei, aliarumque valetudinum, mala materia in articulum conversa & μετάςατις facta fuit (1104.) Sæpius autem, ictu, casuve, femoris coxæque ossa colliduntur, & illa articuli ligamenta, atque etiam glandula, (1192.) vehemenrius comprimuntur lædunturque. Nam, hoc si incidit, multus humor in articulum confluit, (1105.) vel etiam in illis partibus inflammatio, & tandem suppuratio, concitatur. Hic autem humor, qui in articulum confluxit, diu paulatimque increscit, & tandem os sub vehementioribus, & increscentibus doloribus ex sede sua propellit. Etiam pueris hoc evenire solet, dum labant, atque ab alto ex gerularum brachiis cadunt. Dum enim hæ pedem manu invadunt articulumque violenter adducunt ligamenta etiam violant atque infirmant Si internum ligamentum rumpitur, in sinum coxæ effluit sanguis, aliusque humor. Si vero ligamenta valde adducta fuerunt & laxata, sub ipso motu & ingressu illa paulatim magis infirmantur, donec tandem os ex sinu fuo prorumpat.

1882ReevesHA

  Fragments from the book Reeves HA. Human Morphology: A Treatise on Practical and Applied Anatomy. Vol. 1. (1882). The author describes the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its role.   Quote pp. 451 - 452 By arrangement with the dissector of the abdomen, who will be interested in the observation, the student should carefully trephine or chisel out a small piece from the roof of the acetabulum in order to observe what has already been stated with regard to the capsule, and also to note how the ligamentum teres is affected with regard to its tension or laxity in the various movements of the joint. He may also try to inject into the joint some warm tallow so as to note if there be any hernial protrusions or projections of the synovial membrane between the layers of the capsule, or whether the synovial membrane of the joint communicates with any of the neighbouring bursæ, more especially with the psoas bursa.

Australopithecus afarensis

  AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...
