1632SpiegeliusA

 

Fragments from the book Spigelius A. De humani corporis fabrica libri decem (1632). The author describes the attachment and properties of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The synonym of LCF «teres cartilagineum» is mentioned. It seems to us «lig. teres cartilagineum» = «l. cartilagineum» (1803SchregerCHT). The origins of the term in the works of Galen of Pergamon and Theophilus Protospatharius (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV).

Quote 1. p. 71.

[Lat]

Liber II. Qui ossium historiam proponir.

Cap. XXIV. De osse innominato.

Est autem hic sinus cartilagine contectus vbique laeussima, praeter anteriorem partem, quae foraminibus exasperata, ob ligamentum teres, quod inde originem ducens, capiti femoris inseritur.

Quote 2. p. 95.

[Lat]

Liber III. Qui de cartilaginibus, & ligamentis agit.

Cap. IV. De ligamentis agit, quorum naturam, usum, & differentias breuiter persequitur.

Ita femoris articulus cum coxendice, praeter commune, quod latum est, at totum articulum ambit, etiam teres cartilagineum accepit;

Quote 3. p. 98.

[Lat]

Liber III. Qui de cartilaginibus, & ligamentis agit.

Cap. VII. De ligamentis cruris vniuersi.

… Ligamentum quo femur ossi coxa alligatur. Femoris ergo caput superius cum acetabulo coxendicis duobus adstringitur ligamentis. Primum, commune est & membraneum, quale in aliis quoq; articulis cernitur, latum, totam horum ossium commissuram orbiculatim ambiens, quod robore ac crassitie, vt ipse articulus aliis, ita caeteris ligamentis praecellit. Alterum, ipso acetabulo, interquel articulum occurrit, teres & cartilagineum. Hoc ex humiliore acetabuli sede enascitur, quo loco supercilium eius osseum non est, sed ligamento tantum constat, & in medium femoris caput, vbi foramen hanc in gratiam exsculptum habet, interitur.

Quote 1. p. 71.

Book II. Which treats of the history of the bones.

Chapter XXIV. Of the innominate bone.

This sinus is covered with cartilage, smooth everywhere, except in the anterior part, where it is pitted with holes for the round ligament, which, taking its origin from here, is attached to the head of the femur.

Quote 2. p. 95.

Book III. Which treats of the cartilages and ligaments.

Chapter IV. Of the ligaments, briefly stating their nature, use, and differences.

Thus the joint of the femur with the pelvis, besides the common [ligament], which is broad and surrounds the whole joint, also has a round cartilaginous [ligament].

Quote 3. p. 98.

Book III. Which treats of the cartilages and ligaments.

Chapter VII. Of the ligaments of the whole leg.

The ligament which connects the femur with the pelvic bone. So, the head of the femur is connected to the acetabulum from above by two ligaments. The first is the common membranous ligament, which, as in other joints, is wide and surrounds the entire connection of these bones in a circle, surpassing other ligaments in its strength and thickness, since the joint itself surpasses other joints. The second ligament is located inside the acetabulum, round and cartilaginous. It originates from the lower part of the acetabulum, where its edge is not bone, but consists only of ligament, and enters the middle of the head of the femur, where a hole is cut out for this.

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.   Über die Vorriehtungen in den Gelenken zur Milderung der mit den Bewegungen verbundenen Stösse und Erschütterungen .

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.

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).  Figure 4 of the cited article shows the distribution and direction of cutmarks on human skeletons from Dingx...
