1600LaurensA

 

Fragment from the book Du Laurens A. Historia anatomica humani corporis (1600). The author writes about the anatomy, attachment, properties, shape and size ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The text uses the term of Galen of Pergamon: “cartilaginous sinew” (νεῦρον χονδρῶδες) (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). In the caption to the Fig. IIII, p. 190, the author calls the LCF: “O. Vinculum femur ischio alligans.” (Band connecting the femur to the ischium).

Lib. III, Cap. XXI, P. 113

De ligamentus ilii, pubus, femoris, tibia.

Ilium ossa cum sacro colligant, membranea ligamenta, pubis etiam ossa cartilagine iuncta, firmius connectunt vincula communia, Sunt & peculiaria duo ligamenta rotunda, quæ ex sacri ossis ima parte in acutum coxendicis processum seruntur, huncque ossi sacro validius stringent, & rectum intestinum, eiusque sphincteres musculos sustinent. Adest etiam membraneum ligamentum ossis pubis foramen occupans. Femur ischij acetabulo copulant, vincula duo; alterum commune, latum, crassissimum totum articulum ambiens, alterum priuatum, quod à cotyles fundo, in medium femoris caput sigitur, rigidum id rotundum ac breue est, vt neruus cartilaginosus censeri possit. …

Book. III, Chapter XXI.

On the ligaments of the ilium, pubis, femur, and tibia.

The iliac bones are connected to the sacrum by membranous ligaments, the pubic bones are also connected by cartilage, and the common ligaments bind them more firmly. There are also two special round ligaments that run from the lower part of the sacrum to the sharp protrusion of the pelvic bone, connecting it more firmly with the sacrum and supporting the rectum and the muscles of the sphincter. There is also a membranous ligament that closes the opening of the pubic bone. The femur is connected to the acetabulum of the ischium by two ligaments; one common, wide, very thick, surrounding the entire joint, the other separate, which runs from the bottom of the acetabulum to the middle of the head of the femur, hard, round, and short, so that it can be considered a cartilaginous sinew. ...

Key Role of the LCF

  In the experiments conducted on the pelvis-femur-muscle-ligaments model, we found that when the contralateral pelvic drop occurs, the ligament of the head of femur become maximally tense; simultaneously, there is relaxation and lengthening of the gluteus medius muscle; the pelvis spontaneously rotates towards the stance limb (forward), and the load on the hip joint decreases. Thanks to the functioning of the ligament of the head of femur the walking is smooth, rhythmic, and energy-efficient.
