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.
