Quote p. 108

Bei Felis Tigris umfasst das Ligamentum capsulare Capituli Femoris den Schenkelhals nur wenig, ist an der äussern und hintern Seite stark, an der innern Seite schwach. Das Ligamentum Acetabuli ist stark, aber das Labrum cartilagineum fehlt. Das Ligamentum teres ist 10 Linien lang, am Ursprunge in der Fovea Acetabuli 8 Linien, an der Insertion am Schenkelkopf Linien breit.

In Felis Tigris, the femoral capsular ligament covers only a small part of the femoral neck and is strong on the outer and posterior sides and weak on the inner side. The acetabular ligament is strong, but the cartilaginous lip is absent. The round ligament is 10 lines long, 8 lines at its origin in the acetabulum fossa, and one line wide at its attachment to the femoral head.

Quote p. 115

Bei Auchenia Lama ist das Ligamentum capsulare fibrosum Capituli Femoris an der vordern äussern und obern Seite sehr stark. Man könnte sagen, es wäre das Ligamentum ileo- und ischio-femorale unter einander verschmolzen. Das Ligamentum teres ist ebenfalls stark, einen halben Zoll lang und an seiner Insertion am Oberschenkel 3 Linien breit. Die Kapsel umfasst den Schenkelhals weiter als beim Tiger. Das Labrum cartilagineum fehlt.

In Auchenia Lama the fibrous ligament of the femoral head is very strong on the anterior and superior side. We can say that the iliofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments are fused. The round ligament is also strong, being half an inch long and 3 lines wide at its insertion into the thigh. The capsule covers the femoral neck wider than that of a tiger. The cartilaginous lip is absent.

Set of Classifications

  General Classification of LCF Pathology Version : 20240420 Annotation Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of LCF Pathology. Introduction In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. L.I. Gaevskaya distinguished three types of LCF: 1) long and thick (length 41–51 mm, thickness 5 mm), 2) short and thin (length 10–20 mm, thickness 1 mm), 3) long and of small thickness (length 43–45 mm, with a thickness of 3 mm, and length 28–30 mm with a thickness of 4–5 mm) (1954 ГаевскаяЛИ ). V.V. Kovanov, A.A. Travin identified three varieties of histological structure of LCF: 1) with a predominance of loose connective tissue; 2) with a predominance of dense connective tissue; 3) with a uniform distribution of loose and dense connective tissue ( 1963 КовановВВ _ ТравинАА ). The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to i...

1835CooperAP

  Fragments of the book Cooper AP. Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Surgery (1835) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author discusses LCF injury during hip dislocation and notes the important role of its blood vessels in supplying the femoral head.   Quote p. 577 DISLOCATIONS OF THE HIP JOINT … It generally happens when the thighs are widely separated from each other, that the ligamentum teres and capsular ligament are torn through, and the head of the bone is situated on the obturator externus muscle at the inner and back part of the thigh. Quote pp. 584-585 ON DISLOCATIONS OF THE THIGH BONE … But the third and principal reason is, the almost entire absence of ossific union in the head of the bone when detached from its cervix. The principal supply of blood to the head of the bone being derived from the ligamentum teres, which has only a few minute vessels ramifying from it on the bone, the natural supply of blood for the neck and head ...
