Quote pp. 248-249

2. Le ligament interarticulaire, encore appelé ligament rond (2, 3, fig. 126), long d'environ 25 millimètres, ordinairement très fort, a la forme d'une pyramide triangulaire. Inséré par sa base au ligament transverse, aux cornes de la grande échancrure cotyloïde et à la partie voisine de l'arrière-fond, il remonte de là dans l'articulation, entre le plancher de la cavité cotyloïde et la tête du fémur, et va s'attacher dans la dépression de la tête fémorale. Il est entouré par la synoviale comme par une gaine, et limite, avec l'arrière-fond de la cavité cotyloïde, un espace conique dans lequel est contenu le paquet graisseux de l'articulation. 

Quelle est la signification et quel est le rôle de ce ligament qui existe chez la plupart des Mammifèreset manque dans d'autres (Éléphant, Marsouin), existe, dans la plupart des cas, chez le Gorille et le Chimpanzé, manque en general chez l'Orang, et exceptionnellement chez l'Homme? – Pour WEBER, il limite certains mouvements, entre autres la rotation en dehors lorsque la cuisse est fléchie, et l'adduction lorsque la cuisse est étendue (MOREL et DUVAL); – pour SAVORY, il suspend le poids du corps aux têtes du fémur; – pour TILLAUX, il sert de coussinet élastique dans la station, la marche et le saut; – pour WELCHER, il sert à étendre la synovie autour de l'articulation; – enfin, eu égard à son état rudimentaire dans certains cas, à son absence dans d'autres, certains anatomistes (HENLE, CRUVEILHIER, SAPPEY, W. KRAUSE, etc.) sont disposés à ne lui reconnaître pour usage que celui de protéger les vaisseaux qui se rendent à la tête du fémur. Mais, d'une part, la résistance de ce ligament qui, dans la plupart des cas, supporte sans se rompre 30 kilogrammes et plus, et, d'autre part, cette particularité qu'il fait suite à un muscle chez l'Autruche et le Sphénodon, me font penser, avec SUTTON, que ce n'est que le tendon d'un muscle pelvi-fémoraldisparu. Les trous nourriciers que présente la fossette du ligament ne sont visibles à l'œil nu que 20 à 30 fois sur 100 (WELCHER, HOFFMANN).

FIG. 126. – Articulation coxo-fémorale. A, partie supérieure du fémur; — a, surface articulaire; – b, grand trochanter; – B, os iliaque; – C, ilium; – d, tubérosité ischiatique; – D, cavité cotyloïde; – 1, bourrelet cotyloïdien; – 2, 3, ligament interarticulaire; – 4, membrane sous-pubienne ou obturatrice


Synoviale. – La synoviale double la capsule fibreuse et s'attache: en haut, sur le sourcil et le bourrelet cotyloïdens; en bas et en avant, sur la crête intertrochantérienne; en arrière, à la limite de la tête du fémur, mais en formant un cul-de-sac circulaire qui s'étend jusque vers le milieu du col (fig. 127). – Elle tapisse donc toute la portion du col du fémur contenue dans la capsule fibreuse, se réfléchit en outre autour du ligament rond et communique parfois (1 fois sur 10) avec la bourse séreuse du psoas.

Vaisseaux et nerfs. – Les artères viennent des circonflexes, des fessières et de l'obturatrice: celle-ci fournit un rameau qui pénètre dans l'articulation par le trou sous-cotyloïdien, entre dans le ligament rond et gagne la tête du fémur. Les nerfs sont fournis par le grand ou le petit sciatique, par le crural et l'obturateur.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

1832MeckelJF

  Fragments of the book Meckel JF. Manual of general, descriptive, and pathological anatomy (1832) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author briefly discusses abnormalities of the LCF and its distal insertion. Quote p. 257 § 308. Among the deviations from the normal state, primitive deviations of the external form are rare, and usually attend anomalies of the other tissues. Among these we arrange, for instance, the absence of the tendons of the abdominal muscles, that of the ligaments of the vertebral column, and that of the dura mater of the brain and spinal marrow, &c., in a congenital fissure of the abdomen, of the vertebral column, and of the skull, and that of the tendons and the muscles of a finger, when the finger itself is wanting. But the fibrous organs are seldom deficient, when the other tissues with which they combine to form a part are present — for instance, the tendon alone of a muscle is rarely absent, or the tunica sclerotica, when the othe...

1836-1840PartridgeR

  «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.
