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.

  Fragments from the book Treves F, Keith A, Mackenzie C. Surgical Applied Anatomy, 7th ed. (1917). The author discusses the strength and significance of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its changes in hip dislocations and dysplasia.   Quote pp. 542-543 3. THE HIP-JOINT … The manner in which the various movements at the hip are limited may be briefly expressed as follows: The limit of every natural movement is fixed by the extensibility of the muscles which surround a joint. That is readily seen at the hip-joint, for when the knee is extended, and the hamstring muscles thus tightened, flexion at the hip is limited long before the ligaments become tense. Ligaments only come into play when the muscular defence of the joint breaks down. Flexion, when the knee is bent, is limited by the contact of the soft parts of the groin. Extension, by the ilio-psoas, rectus femoris, and the ilio-femoral or Y -ligament. Abduction, by the adductor mass of muscles and the pubo-capsular l...

1877BrookeC

  Report by Brooke C. and discussion of the article Dislocations of the Thigh: their mode of occurrence as indicated by experiments, and the Anatomy of the Hip-joint. By Henry Morris. M.A., M.B. (1877). In the discussion, Dr. Barwell remarked that: «He agreed with Mr. Morris in regarding the ligamentum teres as of little importance in the prevention of dislocation; it probably did little more than protect the vessels passing to the head of the bone. He saw a case some years ago, in which there was congenital absence of the ligamentum teres; but he had no reason for believing that the man was more liable to dislocation of the femur than other persons.» The author of the article, Henry Morris, suggested that Malgaigne «... did not attach much importance to the ligamentum teres; and believed that it had no power to hold the bone in its place.».   ROYAL MEDICAL AND CHIRURGICAL SOCIETY.
