Fragment of book Hoffmann C.E.E. Lehrbuch der Anatomie des Menschen (1877) devoted to anatomy, synonyms, and an overview of the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). According to the author, the role of LCF in the blood supply to the femoral head in children.

Im Zusammenhange mit dem in der Fossa acetabuli gelegenen, weichen Gewebe steht ein von Blutgefässen durchzogener Bindegewebsstrang, welcher breit und flach und mit zwei Schenkeln entspringt. Von diesen erhebt sich einer vom Rande der Pfannengrube, während der andere sich von der Aussenwand der Kapsel loslöst und unter dem Querbande herzieht, um, mit dem anderen. vereinigt, zu der Grube an demGelenkkopfe des Oberschenkels zu gelangen, wo er sich in die von Knorpel nicht überzogene Vertiefung in mehr rundlicher Form anheftet. Diese Bildung, ligamentum teres (lig. rotundum femoris, lig. interarticulare coxae), stellt eigentlich eine Umschlagstelle der Synovialmembran von der Gelenkgrube zum Gelenkkopfe dar, in welche gefässreiches, lockeres Bindegewebe eingelagert ist.

Ueber die Bedeutung des Ligamentum teres gehen die Meinungen der verschiedenen Anatomen noch auseinander. Früher wurde es allgemein als ein Hemmungsband bei verschiedenen Bewegungen des Hüftgelenkes, namentlich gegen die Rotation nach aussen angesehen. Diese Meinung wurde neuerdings verlassen, da exacte Versuche zeigten, dass Hemmungen, bei welchen sich das Lig. teres anspannen könnte, gleichzeitig oder schon vorher durch andere Bildungen, vorzugsweise durch das viel stärkere Lig ileo femorale superius, zu Stande kommen, so dass die Spannung des Lig teres bei halbér Beugung des Schenkels mit Adduction und bei der Rotation nach aussen keine sehr straffe ist. In neuerer Zeit wird die Bedeutung des Lig. teres als Hemmungsband noch aufrecht erhalten von H. Meyer, Struthers, W. Braune. Eine andere Meinung spricht dem Lig. teres die Bedeutung eines Leitbandes von Gefässen zu dem Schenkelkopfe hin zu Nach meinen Beobachtungen muss ich dieser Meinung beipflichten , wenn auch H. Welcker in 1/3 der untersuchten Fälle (genauer 9 mal unter 30 Fällen) keine Gefässporen in der Fovea capitis auffand. Meinen Beobachtungen nach fehlen die Gefässporen in etwa einem Fünftheile der Fälle, jedoch fast ausschliesslich bei vollständig erwachsenen Individuen, während sie bei jugendlichen Individuen vorhanden sind. Ich halte daher das Ligamentum teres für den Gefässträger der Epiphyse , während nach der Vereinigung mit der Diaphyse die Gefässe der letzteren die Ernährung der Epiphyse in ausgedehnterem Maasse mit übernehmen und die Gefässe des Bandes atrophiren können. Die dem Ligam. teres von Welcker vindicirte Aufgabe, die Synovia im Gelenke herumzutreiben, kann von dem Bande nebenbei übernommen werden, wie dies in dem Schultergelenke von der Sehne des Biceps brachii ebenfalls nebenbei geschieht.

The monograph Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. An essay with references to interactive materials. 2nd revised and expanded edition. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]. The monograph dates the writing of the Book of Genesis and the events depicted in it, as well as refutes the authorship of Moses. I offer mutually beneficial cooperation (50/50) in literary translation into English or native language. Proofreading of machine translation and cooperation in editing are expected. Requirements for co-author: 1. Native speaker 2. Experience as a writer. E-mail: archipovsv(&)gmail.com Annotation The first version of the Book of Genesis appeared in Ancient Egypt approximately 3,600 years ago, during the Hyksos period. The work was conceived as a fairy tale epic. An unknown physician-encyclopedist, who is also presumed to have authored the Edwin Smith Papyrus, played a role in its composition...

ILIOTIBIAL TRACT & LCF

ILIOTIBIAL TRACT & LCF There is an opinion that the iliotibial tract, like the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), provides pressing of the acetabulum to the lower surface of the femoral head. I think that this is not true. The tract is located above and lateral to the center of rotation of the hip joint. Its force vector, like the force vector of the abductor group of muscles, presses the acetabulum to the upper part of the femoral head, which increases the load on it. The ligamentum capitis femoris acts in the opposite direction. Below is a diagram for a single-support position. #ligamentum_teres #hip #biomechanics #ligamentum_capitis_femoris Publication in the facebook group 04/12/2025. ...

1836WeberW_WeberE

We present fragments from the book that laid the foundation of biomechanics of the hip joint considering the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The authors experimentally proved that this structure is situated in the frontal plane when the body is in a vertical position. Analysis of observations showed that when standing on one leg, the LCF and the anterior portion of the iliofemoral ligament (pars descendens lig. iliofemoralis) are stretched and hold the pelvis. These ligaments counteract the weight of the body along with the head of the femur on the same side. The insight of the Weber brothers was later developed in the works of H. von Meyer (1856) , W. Turner (1857) , and W. Savory(1874) . Weber W, Weber E. Mechanik der menschlichen Gehwerkzeuge: eine anatomisch-physiologische Untersuchung. Gottingen: Dietrichsche Buchhandlung, 1836.

1922LeeserI

A fragment of the Book of Genesis tells about the journey of the family of Patriarch Jacob from Charan to Canaan (Gen. 31:1 – 33:20). The translation into English from of the Masoretic Hebrew text of the Torah was done by Isaac Leeser ( 1922 LeeserI ). «Most scholars agree that the texts now found in Genesis began to be written down sometime after the establishment of the monarchy in Israel in the tenth century BCE» (1992SuggsMJ_MuellerJR). A selected passage from an ancient work mentions for the first time in history the injury of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of a person is mentioned (Gen. 32:26,33). In the original Hebrew source this anatomical element is referred to as «גיד» (gheed, gid) ( Bereshit 32:33 ; 1923, 2004PreussJ; 2019ArkhipovSV_SkvortsovDV ; 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ). This term was recorded in writing long before Hippocrates of Kos (V-IV cent. BCE) who used the concept «νεῦρον» to designate LCF (1844LittréÉ). It is not known...

Set of Classifications

General Classification of LCF Pathology Version : 20240420 Annotation Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of LCF Pathology. Introduction In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. L.I. Gaevskaya distinguished three types of LCF: 1) long and thick (length 41–51 mm, thickness 5 mm), 2) short and thin (length 10–20 mm, thickness 1 mm), 3) long and of small thickness (length 43–45 mm, with a thickness of 3 mm, and length 28–30 mm with a thickness of 4–5 mm) (1954 ГаевскаяЛИ ). V.V. Kovanov, A.A. Travin identified three varieties of histological structure of LCF: 1) with a predominance of loose connective tissue; 2) with a predominance of dense connective tissue; 3) with a uniform distribution of loose and dense connective tissue ( 1963 КовановВВ _ ТравинАА ). The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to i...
