1726AlbinusBS


Fragments from the book Albinus B.S. De ossibus corporis humani (1726). The author describes the attachment areas of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), as well as mentions the role of the adipose tissue of the acetabular cavity and the vessels entering it. For a discussion about the “correct” name of the LCF, see the treatise 1725AndryN.

Quote pp. 158-159

[Lat]

187.

…

At vero reliqua ejusdem istius sinus pars altius opportune cavata est, ipsa inaequabilis asperaque, cum ad locandam glandulam muciparam ita, ut & a femore, sive quiescentibus ossibus hisce, sive motis, plane comprimi nequeat, & tamen leviter quasi emulgeatur, tum ad educendum ligamentum dictum teres: ad quae ut vasa adrepere possent ipsum acetabulum inter superficiei istius laevis cornua insigniter deficit & quasfi diminuitur vasa tutissime admittens.

Quote p. 169

[Lat]

196.

…

Sinum praeterea utraque capita, nonnihil sub media convexitate sua, ab interior parte habent, eumque parvum ac satis profundum & inaequabilem, cui ligamentum teres, ex acetabulo veniens, pertinacissime insertur.

 

Translation

[Eng]

Quote pp. 158-159

187.

…

The remainder of this [acetabular] socket is conveniently hollowed out, uneven and rough, to accommodate the mucous gland so that it cannot be completely compressed by the thigh, whether the bones are at rest or in motion, and is slightly compressed. It [the acetabular cavity] is also intended for the origin of the so-called ligamentum teres, and to allow the vessels to penetrate, the acetabular cavity itself significantly narrows between the horns of the smooth surface, allowing the vessels to pass safely.

Quote p. 169

196.

…

In addition, each of the heads [of the femur] has a sinus on the inner side below the central convexity, which is small, rather deep and uneven, to which the ligamentum teres is attached, coming from the acetabulum.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

Postulates of LCF Mechanics

  Postulates of LCF mechanics   We continue to develop a new scientific direction « Mechanics of the Ligamentum Capitis Femoris »: https://roundligament.blogspot.com/2024/10/lcf-mechanics.html Analysis of the accumulated information allowed us to clarify the postulates of this scientific discipline: - Strong, flexible, and non-stretchable with specific attachment points. - Limits adduction, rotation, and cranial displacement of the femur. - Ensures rhythmicity, symmetry, and energy efficiency of walking. - Performs the function to suspend the pelvis during single-leg support. - Shunts load on the femoral head and the abductor muscle group of the hip joint. NB! Considering these positions in your clinical practice, you will reduce the likelihood of developing hip osteoarthritis and gait disturbances in patients.

Australopithecus Gait

  In our opinion, the ligamentum teres or ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in Australopithecus afarensis determined the gait. Its pelvis moved in the frontal plane similar to that of a modern human. In the horizontal plane, the rotational movements of the Australopithecus pelvis were carried out with a significantly smaller amplitude. Presumably Australopithecus afarensis had relatively shorter steps than Homo sapiens. During walking, the shoulder girdle was positioned in the frontal plane, and the arms exhibited minimal oscillation in the sagittal plane. Illustration: Comparative analysis of LCF movements On the right is the acetabulum of Homo sapiens (photo by the author); on the left is the acetabulum of Australopithecus afarensis 3D model of the pelvis (fragment of a screenshot from  sketchfab.com ); The distal end of the LCF (ligamentum teres) in Australopithecus moved in the horizontal plane in the acetabulum fossa with a smaller amplitude than in modern humans. k eyword...
