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.

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.

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.

…

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.

…

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.

Classification of Functions of LCF

Version : 20240224 Introduction On the biology, the common meaning of 'function' is that of role, effect, or transformation rule (1994MorenoA_Fern´andezJ). The function of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is still unknown (2009LampertC) and the ligament itself continues to bewilder and fascinate orthopaedic surgeons (2020Rosinsky_DombBG). The largest collections of opinions on the function of the LCF are contained in our works (2004 Архипов - БалтийскийСВ ; 2018,2023 АрхиповСВ ). The classification of the function of the LCF necessary to determine the directions for further study of this structure, the choice of goals and methods for its surgical recovery. The reconstruction of the LCF without restoring specific functions to solve a clearly defined clinical and biomechanical problem is nothing more than a cosmetic procedure. The proposed classification based on experimental and clinical studies of the author, as well as because of an analysis of literary sources. All the selec...
