Quote p. 524

b) Das runde Schenkelband, ligamentum teres s. rotundum femoris, liegt in der Hüftpfanne, ist ungefähr 1" lang, entspringt mit zwei Schenkeln von den beiden Hörnern der Pfanne, einem grösseren unteren von der äusseren Fläche des unteren und einem kleineren oberen Schenkel von der inneren Fläche des oberen Horns, läuft in senkrechter Richtung in der Pfannengrube, bekleidet von der Synovialhaut, aufwärts und setzt sich in der Grube des Schenkelkopfs fest. In diesem Bande verlaufen die Ernährungsgefässe zum Kopf des Oberschenkels. Es ist durch seine Stärke und seine Richtung geeignet, bei aufrechter Stellung des Körpers das Becken mit tragen zu helfen, indem es die zu innige Berührung des breiten oberen Theils der Pfannenfläche und des Kopfs des Oberschenkels verhindert.

Nach den Brüdern Weber (a. a. O. S. 144) soll das runde Band die zu starke Adduction des Oberschenkels bei vollkommener Streckung des Körpers beschränken. Nach Barkow (a. a. O. S. 81) wird es bei starker Adduction und gleichzeitiger Beugung des Schenkels am meisten angespannt, und seine Bestimmung soll wegen dieser Lage der Beine beim Fötus vorzüglich eine fötale sein. Meckel (Anat. II. S. 366) nimmt an, dass dieses Band die Verrenkung des Oberschenkelbeins nach oben, aussen und unten hindere. Jedenfalls zerreisst das Band bei einer vollständigen Verrenkung nach diesen Richtungen; bei der nach vorn aber kann der Kopf aus der Pfanne weichen, ohne Zerreissung des runden Bandes.

1914JonesFW_MorrisH

We are publishing a chapter from the fifth edition of «Morris's Human Anatomy» (1914). A significant portion of it is dedicated to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The original text has been edited by Wood Jones. Particularly notable are the illustrations depicting the LCF. Some of them are improved drawings by the first author ( 1879MorrisH ). Quote pp. 276-284 1. THE HIP-JOINT Class. — Diarthrosis. Subdivision. — Enarthrodia. The hip is the most typical example of a ball-and-socket joint in the body, the round head of the femur being received into the cup-shaped cavity of the acetabulum. Both articular surfaces are coated with cartilage, that covering the head of the femur being thicker above where it has to bear the weight of the body, and thinning out to a mere edge below; the pit for the ligamentum teres is the only part uncoated, but the cartilage is somewhat heaped up around its margin. Covering the acetabulum, the cartilage is horseshoe-shaped, a...

Fragments from the book Gray H. Anatomy, descriptive and surgical (1858, first edition ). The selected passages of the "classical" anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and original illustrations of Henry Carter. Quote p. 8 1 The cotyloid cavity or acetabulum, is a deep cup-shaped hemispherical depression; formed internally by the pubes, above by the ilium, behind and below by the ischium, a little less than two-fifths being formed by the ilium, a little more than two-fifths by the ischium, and the remaining fifth by the pubes. It is bounded by a prominent uneven rim, which is thick and strong above, and serves for the attachment of a fibro-cartilaginous structure, which contracts its orifice and deepens the surface for articulation. It presents on its inner side a deep notch, the cotyloid notch, which transmits the nutrient vessels into the interior of the joint, and is continuous with a deep circular depression at the bottom of the cavity: this depression...
