HIPPOCRATIS. MOCHLICUS, SEV VECTIARIUS.

Caput I.

Ossa hunc in modum a natura sunt coparata. Digitorum quidem, tum ossiu, tum articulorum, simplex est junctura. In manu vero & pede, cum multa alia varie connectuntur, tu maxima sunt quae supremo loco committuntur. Calcis unum os est, quale foras prominet, quo etiam a posteriore parte tedines tendunt. Tibiae duo ossa sunt supra & infra coherentia, medio vero loco distantia. Quod exterius tendit, parvum & juxta parvum digitum paulo tenuius. Plurima vero hac parte distantia, minoreque momento ad genu inclinatio est, ex quo exterior poplitis tendo ortu habet. Inferiore autem parte commune habent ossis accretione, qua pes movetur, & superiore parte alteram, ubi femoris articulus simplex & longitudine succinctus movetur, tuberculorum speciem referens, & patellam habens. Ipsum vero femur exteriore & anteriore parte incurvatur. Ejus caput ossis est accrementum, rotundum, ex quo nervus (νεῦρον) qui in coxendicis acetabulo est, originem ducit. Cujus aliquantulum obliqua est connexio, minus tame quam braehii. Coxendix autem magne vertebre, quae; est ad os sacrum, ex vinculo cartilaginoso & nervoso inhaerescit. At spina a sacro quidem osse ad magnam vertebram usq; in gibbum curvatur. Vesicaq; & geniturae pars destinata, rectiq; intestini quod est inclinatum, ibisedem habet. Inde vero ad septum transversum, recta interiorem in partem inclinata tendit, qua parte lumboru muasculi […] dicti existunt. Ab ea quoque parte ad magnam vertebram, quae est tupra summam humerorum partem, recta in gibbum elevatur, imo vero hujusmodi magis apparet, quam sit. Posteriores enim vertebraru processus ea parte maxime eminent. Ipse aute cervicis articulus anteriore in parte inclinat. Vertebrae aute interiore parte inter se sunt aequabiles, exteriore vero cartilaginibus & nervis continentur: Eae quoq; in posteriore medullae spinalis parte, articuloru modo inter se committuntur; Parte autem posteriore processum acutum habent, cum adnata cartilagine, unde exoriuntur nervi qui proni feruntur, non secus ac musculi a cervice ad lumbos adnascuncur, qui costarum & spine intermedium complent. Costae vero ad vertebraiu interstitia, nervo annectuntur, a cervice ad lumbos interiorem in parte tendentes. Anteriore autem parte ad pectus, laxu & molle extremum habentes, forma prae caeteris animatibus maxime recurva cernutur: hac enim parte homo mole est angustissima. Quae costae no sunt, processus obliquus, brevis & latus, ad singulas vertebras nervo annexus est. At pectus sibiipsi cohaeret, qua parte costae annectutur obliqua interstitia habens, laxum quoque & cartilagineum; claviculae parte anteriore rotundae, ad pectus quidem breves motus, ad summum vero humerum crebriores habent. Sumus aute humerus (...dicitur) ex lato scapularum osse ortum ducit, in plurimis non aequabiliter. Latum vero scapulatu os ad spinam cartilagineum, reliqua parte laxum, foris inaequabile, cervicem & cavum cartilagineu habens, ex quo costae motionem ducunt, quod facile inter ossa, si brachium demas, dissolvitur. Hujus caput ex cavitate nervulo annexum est, teneram cartilaginem & rotundam adnatam habens; ipsum autem exteriore parte incurvum, & anteriore obliquum, ad cavitatem recta no fertur. Quod vero est ad cubiti gibbum, latum, tuberculosum, oblongas cavitates habens & solidum, posteriore parte cavum est, in quod cubici processus adnatus (qui ... dicitur) ubi manus extenditur, inseritur, quo etia torpidus nervus qui ex medio cubiti ossium intestitio enascitur, terminatur.

The experiments were conducted on a specially designed mechatronic testing rig. The concept of the important role of the ligamentous apparatus is further illustrated by a set of demonstrative mechanical models. The...

According to the author, the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is a tendon of the pectineus muscle, separated from it in consequence of skeletal modifications. THE LIGAMENTUM TERES By J. B. SUTTON, Demonstrator of Anatomy, Middlesex Hospital. (PLATE VIII.) The round ligament of the coxo-femoral articulation has long been an anatomical puzzle, consequently many diverse notions exist concerning it. Some anatomists ascribe to this hollow band of fibrous tissue very important functions in the mechanism of the hip-joint; others deprive it of all glory, simply assigning to it the menial duty of conveying blood-vessels to the head of the femur. Certain authors content themselves with a brief description of its attachments; others give elaborate and detailed accounts, extending over several pages, of its anatomy and supposed function. My object in the present communication is to show that this singular ligament is nothing more than the tendon of the pectineus muscle, sepa...

Catalog. Classifications of LCF Pathology

The classifications are intended to systematize of ligamentum capitis femoris pathology and assist in the development of general approaches to its description, registration, analysis and treatment. Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, hip joint, histology, pathological anatomy, pathology, trauma INTRODUCTION In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to identify various, previously undescribed types of LCF pathology, which prompted the development of various modern classifications based on intraoperative observations. Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of the Ligamentum Teres Pathology, which has the form of a collection of classifiers, as well as a Classification of Functions of the Ligamentum Teres. The ...

1853KnoxR

We publish selected quotations about ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) from Knox R. Manual of Human Anatomy (1853). The author points out that LCF is a thick and dense bundle of fibers. It is attached to the edges of the acetabular notch and intertwined with the fibers of the fibrocartilaginous ring of the acetabulum. Robert Knox writes: « The functions of the round ligament have not been satisfactorily determined.» Quote p. 142 Fig. 104. - This instructive section of the hip-joint requires little or no explanation. - d points to the superior part of the capsular ligament. Fig. 105. - Capsular ligament of the hip-joint; also Poupart's ligament. - a , the capsular ligament; b , the oblique, or accessory ligament of the joint; d , attachment of the external pillar of Poupart's ligament to the tubercle of the pubis; e , deep structures immediately behind that portion of Poupart's ligament, called the ligament of Gimbernat; c , ligamentum obturatorium.

1039-1065Giorgi Mtatsmindeli

1009-1065Giorgi Mtatsmindeli The translator mentions the LCF damage, and notes its presence in animals. Fragment from the book Giorgi Mtatsmindeli (tran.). Old Testament. Genesis ( გიორგი მთაწმინდელი . ძველი აღთქმა . დაბადება ). The translator lived in Georgia and Greece in 1009-1065. Giorgi Mtatsmindeli has been verified by us as the earliest Georgian author to mention LCF in his work. The edition of the translation was presumably created in the Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos (Athos peninsula , Greece) after 1039/1040. Most likely, the translation of the book of the « Genesis » was made from the Greek «Septuagint». Giorgi Mtatsmindeli mentions the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) damage, and notes its presence in animals. The translator used the terms « ძარღუსა » and « ძარღჳ » to denote LCF ( ძარღვი = sinew).

Fragment from the treatise Galen. On anatomical procedures (Περὶ Ἀνατομικῶν Ἐγχειρήσεων, ca. 163-192). The author writes about the high resiliency and hardness of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also notes its connective function. See our commentary at the link: 163-192Galen [Rus], and 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV . Quote [Grc] Περὶ Ἀνατομικῶν Ἐγχειρήσεων. Βιβλιον B. K εφ . ι ʹ .
