1754BertinEJ


Fragments from the book Bertin EJ. Traité d'Osteologie. Т. 1. (1754). The author discusses the anatomy and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also mentions the debate about the correct name that ensued between Nicolas Andry de Bois-Regard and Jean-Louis Petit (1725AndryN).

Quote pp. 156-157

[Fra]

Il y a encore de certains ligamens qui sont cachés dans les articulations & que l'on n'apperçoit que quand on a coupé la capsule par une section circulaire; tel est, par exemple, le ligament qui attache la tête du fémur dans le sond de la cavité cotyloïde, & qui est improprement appellé ligament rond.

Translation

[Eng]

There are still certain ligaments which are hidden in the joints and which we only see when we cut the capsule by a circular section; such is, for example, the ligament which attaches the head of the femur to the probe of the acetabular cavity, and which is incorrectly called the round ligament.

1956SingerCJ

Fragment from the book Singer CJ (Ed., trans.). On anatomical procedures: De anatomicis administrationibus (1956). Galen writes about the high resiliency and hardness of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also notes its connective function. See our commentary at the link: 1956SingerCJ [Rus], and  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV .  Quote. p. 55. [Eng] On anatomical procedures; Book II. Chapter 10. As with the arm you examined the ligaments of the bones, so now examine those of all the exposed joints and first of the hip. This has one ligament embracing it [capsular ligament], as with all joints. A second, hidden in the depths of the joint [ligamentum teres], ties the head of the femur to the hollow in the hip-bone [acetabulum]. It is so tough that it could be called a 'cartilaginous sinew'.

1801BellJ

  Selected fragments of the book Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801). The author discusses hip injuries and the mechanism of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury. Bell's drawing and reasoning probably led 1823GerdyPN  to consider the role of LCF tension in hip dislocation.   Quote pp. 523-524 The acetabulum or socket for the thigh bone is formed in the centre of the greatest and firmest bone of the pelvis, named os innominatum, from its irregular shape. It is in the adult the largest and firmest bone of the pelvis, but in the child it is formed of three distinct bones, the Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis. These are joined by an intermediate cartilage, and are easily separated into distinct bones. At an early age this cartilage is prominent, and somewhat of a triangular form. The cartilage is ossified in the adult, and it being ossified, becomes more prominent, and makes a high triangular projection in the centre of the socket; this prominence gives a firmer connexio...
