1910FickR

 

In the second volume of the «Handbuch der anatomie des menschen», devoted to general joint mechanics and muscles (Zweiter Teil: Allgemeine Gelenk- und Muskelmechanik, 1910), the author discusses the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). This book is not yet available to us. Therefore, we publish only quotes from the first volume.

Quote p. 330

2 – 3 cm langer, platter, schmächtiger Strang, der am unteren medialen Teil der Kapselwand zwischen Pubo- und Ischiofemoralband entspringt und in das Binnenband übergeht. Auch wenn diese Nebenwurzel nicht als ein deutlich isolierbarer Strang ausgebildet ist. bezieht das Binnenband doch stets wenigstens einige Fasern unter dem Querband hindurch von der Kapseloberfläche (so daß die Anspannung des Binnenbandes auf das Gewebe unter dem Querband und die benachbarte Kapselpartie einen Einfluß hat und umgekehrt; s. II. Bd.).

A flat, narrow cord 2 - 3 cm long, extending from the inferomedial part of the capsule wall between the pubo- and ischiofemoral ligaments and passes into the internal ligament [LCF]. Even if this secondary root does not form as a clearly distinct cord, the internal ligament [LCF] always contains at least some fibers connecting to the surface of the capsule and passing under the transverse ligament (so that the tension in the medial ligament [LCF] affects the tissues beneath the transverse ligament and adjacent joint capsule and vice versa; see Volume II).

Quote p. 335

So zeigen denn auch die Untersuchungen von Braune, wenn er selbst auch nicht zu klaren Schlußfolgerungen gelangte, daß das Binnenband thatsächlich ein Hemmungsband ist. allerdings nur, wie im II. Bd. ausführlicher besprochen ist, für eine einzige kleine Bewegungsstrecke, nämlich für die äußerste Anziehung und AuswärtsroUung des stark nach vorn erhobenen Schenkels.

Braune's studies also indicate, although he himself did not come to any definitive conclusions, that the intrinsic ligament [LCF] is in fact the inhibitory ligament. However, as discussed in more detail in Volume II, only for one small range of motion, namely extreme adduction and external rotation of the hip, which is strongly lifted forward [flexed at the joint].

Variants and Phases of LCF Pathology

  Version : 20240418 Classification depending on the combination of factors leading to the pathology of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) VARIANTS OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Simple 2. Combined   We subdivide the phases of LCF pathology depending on the time elapsed after exposure. PHASES OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Acute 2. Subacute 3. Chronic 4. Permanent 5. Old Acute LCF pathology develops rapidly, sometimes instantaneously, as in the case of trauma. Chronic LCF pathology refers to a gradually progressing process that has started and persisted for a long time. The term subacute phase in LCF pathology is used when the process progresses and resolves within three weeks to four months. Permanent LCF pathology implies continuous periodic impact leading to pathological changes. An example of permanent pathology is walking with altered physical properties of the densely formed connective tissue comprising the LCF stroma. Old LCF pathology denotes a pathological change that...

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.
