Liber IV. DE LIGAMENTIS OSSIS ILII & sacri et que in toto pede habentur. CAP. XXXIX.

Femur, coxendicis articulo duplici ligamento nectitur; altero communi membrane, articulum orbiculatim ambit, quod Græci [ischos], totius articuli nomine vocarunt; quod cætera, articulos ambientia crassitie, duritie, & robore su perat, cum articulus hic corpus totum sustinere & motus validos perferre debuerit. Hoc articulo & femoris ceruici accumbit & solum radici magni processus orbiculatim adnascitur, quo motus capitis ipsius femoris non impediantur. Alterum ipsius ligamentum teres est [L] & ob duritiem neruus cartilagineus censeri potest; hoc in acetabulo coxendicis situ, ex eius profundo seu humiliori sede, vbi adeps sinui oblinitur; quò femoris caput facilius moueatur & acetabuli supercilium cessat ortum ducit & superius in femoris caput medium inferitur, idq; ne femoris caput è sinu sua facilè excidat, siriniorque sit articulatio, siquidem femur graue & veluti à coxendice pendulu sit; quare dum hoc laxatur & prolixius sit sæpè numero luxationem causat & aliquando disrumpitur & quamuis os restituatur, luxatus tamen semper claudicat, cum non vt prius rectè cohæreant.

Book IV. Of the Ligaments of the Iliacus and Sacrorum, and of Those in the Whole Leg. Chapter XXXIX.

The thigh is connected at the pelvic joint by two ligaments: one common membrane-like ligament surrounds the joint in a ring, which the Greeks call [ischios], and this name is used for the whole joint; it surpasses the other surrounding joints in thickness, hardness, and strength, since this joint must support the whole body and bear strong movements. This ligament is attached to the neck of the femur and also to the base of the greater protuberance, so that the movements of the head of the femur itself are not restricted. The other ligament is round [L], and on account of its hardness may be considered a cartilaginous nerve; It is situated in the acetabulum of the pelvis, in its deep or lower part, where fat covers the socket, so that the head of the femur moves more easily, and takes its origin at the edge of the acetabulum, and is then inserted into the middle of the head of the femur, so that the head of the femur does not easily fall out of the acetabulum, and the joint is more stable, since the femur is heavy and is, as it were, suspended from the pelvic bone; therefore, when this ligament is weakened and lengthened, it often causes dislocations, and sometimes it is torn, and although the bone returns to its place, the dislocated leg always limps, since it no longer connects correctly as before.

Original in Russian is available at the link: Нижний портал. Часть 1. below is a machine translation edited by a non-native speaker ( version dated 03/02/2025 ) . 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.

Ancient Textual Sources on Ligamentum Teres: Context and Transmission S.V. Arkhipov, I.V. 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. The history of the nomination of this term, medical contexts of its use, the etymology and the first synonyms (Figure 1) are not sufficiently understood. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the most complete collection of evidence from ancient medical authors about the term ligamentum teres, trace the history of its nomination and analyze the gradual changes in the level of knowledge about the anatomy, mechanical and geometric properties of this structure, its pathology and treatment methods. Methods. The study is based on an inter...
