1705RuyschF

Fragment from the book Ruysch F. Thesaurus anatomicus quintus (1705). The author describes the anatomical preparation containing the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), notes its areas of attachment, geometric and mechanical properties. There is no image in the book; perhaps we are talking about a preparation depicted in another work 1738LadmiralJ. F. Ruysch describes the LCF in Latin and Dutch.

Quote p. 11

[Latin]

N°. XXV. Acetabulum ossis innominati foetus immaturi, sub cujus medio ligamentum nerveo-cartilagineum in conspestum venit, in liquore.

Not. 1°. Dicti ligamenti basinad robur articuli, admodum esse latam, & expansam, acetabuloque asfixam, donec pervenerit ad marginis partem inferiorem, ubi ab acetabulo recedens inseritur in caput ossis femoris.

2°. Dictum ligamentum rubedine esse perfusum, propter arteriolarum repletionem.

[Dutch]

N°. XXV. De Panne van het Naam-loose-been, vati een onvoldrage Schepseltje, ouder wiens midden men zien kan de zenuwkraakbcnigeband voort te komen en legt dit in een giaasje met vogt.

Aanmerkt ten eerste, dat dese band vry breed en uytgestrekt is aan deslelfs voortkomen of grond, en dat tot versterking van het junctuur. Ook is dezelve zoo ver met de panne vereenigt, tot onder aan de rand van de panne, alwaar ’t de panne verlatende, sigh komt te planten in ’t hooft van het Dyebeen.

Ten tweeden, dat dese band ons hier rood van couleur voorkomt, wegens het opvullen der Slagh-aderkens.

The experiments were conducted on a specially designed mechatronic testing rig. The concept of the important role of the ligamentous apparatus is further illustrated by a set of demonstrative mechanical models. The...

Content [i] Annotation [ii] Original text [iii] References [iv] Source & links [v] Notes [vi] Authors & Affiliations [vii] Keywords [i] Annotation Abstract of the article: Michaels G, Matles AL. The role of the ligamentum teres in congenital dislocation of the hip (1970). The authors proposed an analogy for the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) as a “ball and chain control” and noted that it can spontaneously reduce congenital hip dislocation. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1970MichaelsG_MatlesAL . [ii] Original text Quote p. 199 Many papers in the literature have implicated the ligamentum teres as a hindrance to the late open reduction of a congenitally dislocated hip. Occasionally the ligamentum teres has been reported to be absent. However, in most cases it is hypertrophied and elongated. Our present knowledge confirms the fact that congenital dislocation of t...

Catalog. Classifications of LCF Pathology

The classifications are intended to systematize of ligamentum capitis femoris pathology and assist in the development of general approaches to its description, registration, analysis and treatment. Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, hip joint, histology, pathological anatomy, pathology, trauma INTRODUCTION In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to identify various, previously undescribed types of LCF pathology, which prompted the development of various modern classifications based on intraoperative observations. Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of the Ligamentum Teres Pathology, which has the form of a collection of classifiers, as well as a Classification of Functions of the Ligamentum Teres. The ...
