Das Hüftgelenk (Articulatio coxae s. femoris).

Dem Limbus acetabuli jedes Hüftbeines (S. 101) sitzt ein Labrum cartilagineum oder Labrum glenoideum auf. Dasselbe besteht aus starkem Bindegewebe, setzt sich über die Incisura acetabuli, diese zugleich überbrückend, fort und wird daselbst durch einige mit dem Ligamentum obturatorium und dem Perioste des Sitzbeines zusammenhängende derbe Fascikel verstärkt. Diese Ausfüllungsmasse der Incisura acetabuli ist das sogenannte Querband der Pfanne (Ligamentum transversum acetabuli . Das Bindegewebe des Labrum geht in den hyalinen Knorpelüberzug der Pfanne über. In der Fossa acetabuli entspringt das runde Band (Ligamentum teres s. rotundum femoris). Es ist bald plattrund, bald dreiseitig-prismatisch, selten drehrund, es ist aussen faltig und rollt sich bei seiner Drehung leicht schnurförmig um sich selbst. An sciner Oberfläche hat es faltige und wulstige Synovialfortsätze, zwischen die sich z. Th. Fett ablagert, welches letztere übrigens auch in der Fossa acetabuli reichlich vorhanden ist. In dieser Fossa entspringt nun das Ligament breit und hängt mit dem Ligamentum transversum acetabuli zusammen. Es setzt sich, dünner werdend, an die Fovea capitis femoris an, welche häufig eine knöcherne, mit dem Knorpelüberzuge des Caput überdeckte Umwallung besitzt. Um diese Insertionsstelle herumfinden sich häufig kleinere Fettdeposita. Alle diese Fettablagerungen an der Pfanne und am Oberschenkelbeinkopf haben eine ziemlich feste aussere Bindegewebsschicht. Diese hängt mit der Substanz des Ligam. teres zusammen. Das Kapselband des Hüftgelenkes (Ligam. capsulare femoris) entspringt im Umfang der Pfanne, ist mit dem Labrum cartilagineum acetabuli verwachsen und zieht bis zur Linea intertrochanterica anterior vorn und bis nahe zur Linea intertrochanterica posterior hinten am Oberschenkelbeine hinüber. Dasselbe hat Längs- und Ringfascikel. Erstere treten mehr bei der Anspannung , letztere , welche sich zur sogenannten Zona orbicularis an der hinteren Kapselwand ansammeln (Fig. 98 , 8), mehr bei der Erschlaffung des Kapselbandes in die Erscheinung (Fig. 97, 6, 7 und Fig. 98, 8) . Es zeigen sich an dieser Gelenkkapsel beträchtliche longitudinale Verstärkungsbänder, nämlich: 1) Das Ligam. ilio-femorale s. superius entspringt hart unter dem Rande der Incisura iliaca anterior sowie vom vorderen Pfannenrande und geht mit sehr derben Fascikeln bis zur Linea intertrochanterica anterior, ja sogar darüber hinaus nach unten. 2) Das Ligam. pubo-femorale entspringt von der Eminentia ilio-pectinea und von dem die Pfanne mitbildenden Theile des Schambeines oberhalb des Randes derselben, nimmt einige mit dem Periost des absteigenden Sitzbeinastes verbundene Fascikel auf und inserirt sich am medialen Ausläufer der Linea intertrochanterica anterior. 3) Das Ligam, ischio- capsulare entspringt am unteren Pfannenrande vom Sitzbeine und verliert sich zwischen den Fascikeln der hinteren Kapselwand.

Quote pp. 165-166

Das genaueste Studium der Verstärkungsbänder der Hüftgelenkkapsel verdanken wir WELCKER. Dieser Forscher beschreibt das Ligamentum ilio- femorale superius und anterius. Ersteres entspringt etwas unterhalb der Spina anter. inferior und inserirt sich an der Basis des Trochantermajor. Letzteres, das längste von allen, entspringt unmittelbar neben dem vorigen und inserirt sich an der Linea intertrochanterica anterior nahe dem Trochanter minor (Fig. 101). Das Ligamentum ischio-femorale und pubo-femorale erschlaffen bei mässiger Beugung und einiger Abziehung des Oberschenkels. Das Caput femoris kann bei dieser Stellung um ½ Zoll und mehr aus der Pfanne herausgezogen werden. Wird nun das Bein gestreckt, so winden sich die Bänder spiralig um den Schenkelhals und bringen den Kopf wieder in die Pfanne zurück (Fig. 102). Die Zona orbicularis (S. 162) bildet nach HENLE und WELCKER einen nirgend mit dem Knochen in Verbindung tretenden Faserring. Beim Strecken des Beines wird die Zona gegen den Pfannenrand geführt und es wird der Schenkelkopf somit von einem fest anliegenden Ventil umfasst. Das Ligamentum teres galt früher als Hemmungsband für die Schenkeldrehung oder als Leitband für die Gefässe des Schenkelkopfes. HENLE spricht dem Gebilde, welches Gefässe enthält und Synoviaabsondert, den Charakter eines eigentlichen Bandes ab. Er erklärt dasselbe vielmehr für einen an beiden Enden festgewachsenen Synovialfortsatz. WELCKER erkennt aber dieses nicht an, sondern hält das runde Band nur für einen die Umtreibung der Synovia bewirkenden, bei der Bewegung etwa wie ein Wischer über die Gelenkfläche hinfahrenden Apparat.

Das runde Band fehlt zuweilen, ohne dass die Knochen sich verrenken oder dass deshalb die Leute hinken müssen (PALETTA, SANDIFORT). Durchgängig fehlt das Ligament auch den zum Klettern äusserst geschickten älteren Orang-Utan's, während es bei den zu derselben Bewegung organisirten Gorilla's, Chimpanse's meist und bei den Gibbons fast regelmässig vorkommt.

A striking example is the detailed description in the 32nd chapter of a hip joint injury and its consequences. This knowledge, seamlessly woven into the narrative, is as old as the literary monument itself. How long ago it was composed remains not definitively known, but according to the currently dominant view, it dates back to the late 6th or 5th century BCE (2017OliverS). With the intention of clarifying the aforementioned question and for dating the natural-scientific facts con...

21cent.bcBaqetIII

Groups of wrestlers on the walls of tomb BH15, belonging to Baqet III – a contemporary of Pharaoh Mentuhotep II (frescoes, Beni Hasan, Egypt). These images depict wrestling scenes and the circumstances under which injuries to the hip joint —  including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) — might occur. The frescoes appear to have served as the basis for the description of wrestling found in the Book of Genesis: 25 And Ja cob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.  26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him. … 33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.

In adapted usage, the name is rendered as Jacob. According to the narrative, he was born near the well of Beer-Lahai-Roi, between Kadesh and Bered in the Negev Desert, which is in the south of the "Canaanite" land (Gen. 16:14, 23:19, 24:62). As is clear from the text, the "Canaanite land" is the western part of the current State of Israel, excluding the vicinity of the Jordan River (Gen. 13:11–12). Jacob's father ...

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 5

  Short retelling of chapter 5 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 5.  ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living." From a genetic perspective, they are depicted as siblings, with an age difference of 18–25 years. According to the biblical epic, they formed humanity’s first family, sustaining themselves on pre-existing fruits and seeds. Their initial home was the "garden in Eden," located "in the east" relative to the narrator. The text identifies geographic markers for Eden’s location: lands like "Asshur," "Cush," and "Havilah," and rivers named "Pishon," "Gihon," "Hiddekel," and "Phrath." The narrator also notes the region’s economic value, mentioning "gold," ...

1849QuainJ

  Fragments from the book by Jones Quain (fifth edition): Elements of anatomy Vol. 1 (1849), the first edition was published in 1828. The author writes about the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and mentions synonyms.   Quote p. 278 THE HIP-JOINT. This is a true ball-and-socket joint, in which the globular head of the femur is received into the acetabulum or cotyloid cavity. The articulating surfaces are covered by cartilage in the greater part of their extent. It is deficient, however, at the bottom of the cavity, and also a little beneath the central point of the head of the femur; the latter marking the insertion of the round ligament, the former a shallow fossa for the lodgment of the structure which has been called the synovial gland. The connecting means in this articulation are three ligaments, viz. a capsular, cotyloid, and interarticular ligament, together with a synovial membrane. Fig. 147.
