1732WinslowJB


Fragments from the book Winslow JB. Exposition anatomique de la structure du corps humain. Vol. I (1733). The author writes in detail about the anatomy and structure of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also offers several synonyms. In the text we see an echo of the discussion about LCF that took place between Nicolas Andry de Bois-Regard and Jean-Louis Petit (1725AndryN). Jacob Winslow unwittingly took part in the controversy between the two titans, which he later sincerely regretted (Andry vis-à-visPetit).

Quote 1. p. 94.

843. Un peu au-dessous du milieu de la convexité de la Tête il ya une Fossette presque semilunaire, où s’attache dans l’état naturel un Ligament particulier. Cette Tête est une Epiphyse dans la jeunesse, & reste quelquefois telle jusqu’à un âge bien avancé, de-sorte qu’elle se peut détacher ou décoler par violence. 

Quote 2. p. 118.

40. Il y en a qui sont cachés dans les Articulations mêmes & par les Ligamens Capsulaires; comme celui de la Tête du Femur, appellé communement mais improprement le Ligament rond, & ceux de la Tête du Tibia, que l'on nomme Ligamens ctoisés. 

Quote 3. p. 129.

122. Quoique j’aye remis la Description des deux Ligamens de l’Articulation du Femur avec l’Os Innominé, il est pourtant à propos de marquer ici leurs attaches à l’Os Innominé. L’un de ces Ligamens environne l’Articulation, & l’autre y est renfermé. Le premier est appellé Ligament Orbiculaire, & l’autre a été très improprement & mal-à-propos nommé Ligament Rond.

125. Le Ligament renfermé n’est pas rond, comme le nom vulgaire lefait entendre. Il est comme un Cordon plat, large par un bout & étroit par l’autre, qu-ssote qu’il est comme triangulaire en long. Son attache par rapport à la Cavité Cotyloïde, est aux deux Angles de l’Echancrure de cette Cavité. Il y est attaché par le bout large de la maniere que je marquerai ci-après en parlant de l’Os Femur. Cette attache large est comme la Base du Ligament. On voit comme naître de l’épaisseur de la Base quelques Filets Ligamenteux particuliers, qui de là vont s’attacher d’espace en espace à la Circonference de l’Empreinte raboteuse du fond de la Cavité Cotyloïde. 

Quote 4. pp. 129 - 130.

127. L’Enfoncement raboteux ou l’Empreinte inégale du fond de la Cavité Cotyloïde est occupé par une Glande Mucilagineuse, large, plate bordée d’une Substance Adipeuse, & recouverte d’une Membrane fine au travers de laquelle suinte une Liqueur Mucilagineuse qui humecte Articulation Mucilagineuse, & facilite ses mouvemens. Cette Membrane s’éleve audessus de la Glande Mucilagineuse, & donne une espece d’Enveloppe ou Tunique au Ligament renfermé, appellé faussement Ligament Rond. Les Vaisseaux Sanguins qui servent à cette Glande passent entre le fond de l’Echancrure Cotyloïde & le Ligament Transversal de cette Echancrure. 

Quote 5. pp. 130-131.

136. Les Ligamens de l'extrémité superieure ou de la Tête du Femur sont deux; un qui environne l'Articulation du Femur avec la Cavité Cotyloïde, & un qui est renfermé dans l'Articulation. On appelle le premier Ligament Orbiculaire de la Tête du Femur, & le second peut être nommé Ligament interne ou renfermé. On pourra encore, quoique improprement, en ajouter un troisiéme, qui tient lieu de Ligament Capsulaire, comme je dirai ci-après.

141. L'autre Ligament de la Tête du Femur que jai appellé Interne ou Renfermé, est comme un Cordon applati, composé d'un pacquet de Fibres trèsétroitement entrelacées , qui par un bout sont plus épanoiiies & comme partagées en deux bandes plates, dont chacune est attachée à un des coins de l'Echancrure Cotyloïde , de la maniere marquée ci-dessus. On pourroit lui donner le nom de Ligament InterArticulaire de la Tête du Femur.

1956SingerCJ

Fragment from the book Singer CJ (Ed., trans.). On anatomical procedures: De anatomicis administrationibus (1956). Galen writes about the high resiliency and hardness of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also notes its connective function. See our commentary at the link: 1956SingerCJ [Rus], and  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV .  Quote. p. 55. [Eng] On anatomical procedures; Book II. Chapter 10. As with the arm you examined the ligaments of the bones, so now examine those of all the exposed joints and first of the hip. This has one ligament embracing it [capsular ligament], as with all joints. A second, hidden in the depths of the joint [ligamentum teres], ties the head of the femur to the hollow in the hip-bone [acetabulum]. It is so tough that it could be called a 'cartilaginous sinew'.

165-257Shmuel

  Sayings of Yehuda ben Ilai extracted from the tractates Pesachim and Chullin (Babylonian Talmud). Babylonian Talmud was written between about 450 - 550 in present-day Iraq (formerly Babylonia).

1801BellJ

  Selected fragments of the book Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801). The author discusses hip injuries and the mechanism of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury. Bell's drawing and reasoning probably led 1823GerdyPN  to consider the role of LCF tension in hip dislocation.   Quote pp. 523-524 The acetabulum or socket for the thigh bone is formed in the centre of the greatest and firmest bone of the pelvis, named os innominatum, from its irregular shape. It is in the adult the largest and firmest bone of the pelvis, but in the child it is formed of three distinct bones, the Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis. These are joined by an intermediate cartilage, and are easily separated into distinct bones. At an early age this cartilage is prominent, and somewhat of a triangular form. The cartilage is ossified in the adult, and it being ossified, becomes more prominent, and makes a high triangular projection in the centre of the socket; this prominence gives a firmer connexio...
