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 ).

1886AdamsF

  The first mention of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in a scientific text is found in the treatise «Mochlicus» ( Instruments of Reductions ), highly likely authored by Hippocrates of Kos (born 460 BCE). The classical translation of this work into English was performed by the surgeon Francis Adams. In the translation of Hippocrates’ text, LCF is called «ligament». We bring to your attention a quote and a brief commentary by the translator:   Selected quote mentioning LCF MOCHLICUS, pp. 161-163 1. With regard to the construction of bones, the bones and joints of the fingers are simple, the bones of the hand and foot are numerous, and articulated in various ways ; the uppermost are the largest ; the heel consists of one bone which is seen to project outwards, and the back tendons are attached to it. The leg consists of two bones, united together above and below, but slightly separated in the middle; the external bone (fibula), where it comes into proximity with the l...
