1605BauhinC

Fragment from the book Bauhin C. Theatrum anatomicum (1605). The author writes about the attachment, function, possible elongation and damage of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Lameness after dislocation is mentioned and its cause is explained. In the margins of the page are references to the works of other authors Vesalius, Laurens, Archang (Archangelo Piccolomini ???).

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.

1886LesshaftP

According to the author, the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) reduces shocks and impacts of the articular surfaces. In addition, P. Lesshaft states an anatomical fact: the LCF is located vertically under the part of the acetabulum, which mainly bears the weight of the body. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet.

1857HyrtlJ

The author discusses the anatomy, structure, and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Based on his own research, Josef Hyrtl asserts that the vessels of the LCF do not participate in supplying blood to the femoral head. The author highlights the high strength of the LCF and changes in congenital dislocations. Apparently, this work was the first to suggest that the LCF serves as a conductor of inflammatory processes and a cause of coxalgia. Hyrtl J.

The First Scientific Mention

European science has known the LCF for about 2500 years. It is the most important functional connection of the hip joint. The first person to describe the LCF was Hippocrates (c. 460-370 BCE). A written mention of the LCF is found in §1 of his treatise "On the Instrument of redactions". In our opinion, a book created in the library of the Asclepeion of the island of Kos. Hippocrates did not dissection of the human body, did not operate on the hip joint, did not have a CT scan and MRI. How he could discover the LCF? In our view, it is possible that Hippocrates treated a patient with an open hip dislocation.

Sayings of Rava extracted from the tractates Chullin and Horayot (Babylonian Talmud). Babylonian Talmud was written between about 450 - 550 in present-day Iraq (formerly Babylonia). The rabbi identifies the location and distal attachment site of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and demonstrates knowledge of its function. See our commentary at the link: 280-352Rava [Rus].

The Gemara concludes: And the halakha is: Even if the sinew is cut, the animal is still kosher...

Human LCF intersection

HUMAN LCF INTERSECTION In the south of China, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the archaeological Neolithic site of Dingsishan was investigated. Burials of 355 people were found in this place. The authors of the article (2024YeZ_LiFJ) identified 91 skeletons with traces of manipulations with the remains. They are attributed to burials of the Dingsishan III-IV phase, aged 8.0-4.5 thousand years. 13 notches were found on the proximal part of various femurs. « Cutmarks on the femoral head, neck and intertrochanteric line, as well as along the medial linea aspera of the femoral shaft, suggest that soft tissue around the hip, including the iliofemoral ligament and the iliacus and adductor muscles, was severed to disarticulate the joint.» This and other postmortem bone injuries «... suggests that corpse treatment at Dingsishan included disarticulation » (2024YeZ_LiFJ).

The machine’s apocalyptic prediction concerning half of the world's population and the evolution of computer technology left me puzzled. To verify this prophecy and seek counsel from "natural intelligence," I am publishing my conversation with the AI.
