1886PanschA

Fragments from the book Pansch A. Grundriss der Anatomie des Menschen (1886). The author believes that the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is a synovial process and briefly writes about its anatomy and function. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser.

Quote p. 156

Das Hüftgelenk hat ein Ligamentum interarticulare, das sogenannte Ligamentum teres (Fig. 191 t), welches breit an der Incisura beginnt und an der Fovea capitis endet, also ziemlich gerade aufwärts zieht. Das Band hat eine verschiedene Dicke und ist weniger zu den Bändern, als zu den Synovialfortsätzen zu zählen. Es lagert sich in die Fossa acetabuli, die nicht überknorpelt, sondern mit Fett erfüllt ist, welches eine bewegliche und mit Synovialhaut überzogene Masse darstellt.

Quote p. 159

Uber die Bedeutung des Ligamentum teres herrschen die verschiedensten Ansichten. Einige sehen es als ein Hemmungsband an für die Adductionsbewegung des Schenkels oder das Hinabsinken des Beckens, wogegen der Umstand zu sprechen scheint, dafs es öfters recht schwach ausgebildet ist und dafs früher, als dies Band gespannt wird, sich bereits die Kapsel der Adduction widersetzt. Andere sehen das Band nur als die Bahn an, durch die dem Schenkelkopfe seine Grefäfse zugeführt werden und Andere wieder teilen ihm die Aufgabe zu, die Synovia im Gelenke zu verbreiten [1876WelckerH].

INFERIOR PORTAL FOR HIP ARTHROSCOPY: A PILOT STUDY PART 1. Background and Hypothesis Arkhipov S.V., Independent Researcher, Joensuu, Finland Abstract: The article presents, theoretically and graphically substantiates the technique of a new arthroscopic approach to the central compartment of the hip joint. It is proposed to introduce the optical system of the arthroscope from below through the acetabular notch without traction. Similar approaches were used for puncture, arthroscopy, arthrography, and arthrotomy of the hip joint. Diagnostics using the described lower portal will exclude complications caused by distraction of the leg and compression of the perineal support during surgery. CONTENTS PART 1.

Prolygina KEYWORDS: ancient medicine; ancient traumatology; Galen; Hippocrates; hip joint; ligamentum capitis femoris; ligament of head of femur; ligamentum teres. SUMMARY Background. One of the least researched anatomical structures of the human body is the ligament of head of femur, most often referred to as ligamentum teres.
