Quote 1.

[Lat]

TAB. I. Femur dextrum anterius, magis tamen ad interiora visum, quod interiorem femoris partem majores rami arteriosi adeant.

p. 13

Truncus vero articularis circumducitur circa caput femoris, data cum obturatoria anastomosi, & per intervallum supercilii acetabuli (T. ant. corp. sin.) hujus caveam subit, & ad glandulam Haversii, quae spatium non cartilagineum explet, cartilagines ipsas, & ligamentum teres dividitur.

Quote 2.

[Lat]

TABULA I. EXPLICATIO LITERARUM.

p. 32

Eorum exterior descendit, tectus obturatore externo, inter eum & internum, secundum caput femoris & externam foraminis oram, dat utrique horum musculorum ramos, dat unum duosque ad capsulam femoris articularem, quorum alteruter saepe articulationis cavitatem subit, & dat glandulae Haversii, ligamento tereti, periostiis, & capsulae articulari prospicit. Septies certe & ultra eum ramum ab obturatoria arteria prodiisse vidi, (T. V. a.) etsi frequentius utique ab arteriae circumflexae internae ramo prodeat. Tunc autem obturatoria unice dat capsulae, & cum eo ipso circumflexae ramo communicat.

Quote 1.

Table I. Right thigh in front, larger on the inside, since larger arterial branches approach the inside of the thigh.

p. 13.

The articular trunk goes around the head of the femur, anastomosing with the obturator artery, and through the gap in the upper part of the acetabulum (T. ant. corp. sin.) enters its cavity, penetrates the Haversian gland, which fills the non-cartilaginous space, cartilage and ligamentum teres [round ligament].

Quote 2.

[Eng]

TABLE I. EXPLANATION OF LETTERS.

p. 32.

Its outer part descends, covered by the external obturator muscle, between it and the internal one, along the head of the femur and the outer edge of the foramen, giving branches to each of these muscles, as well as one or two branches to the joint capsule of the femur, one of which often penetrates the joint cavity, supplying the Haversian gland, the ligamento tereti [rounded ligament], the periosteum, and the joint capsule. Seven times or more I have seen this branch arising from the obturator artery, (T. V. a.), although it more often arises from the branch of the internal circumflex artery. In this case, the obturator artery exclusively supplies the capsule and communicates with the branch of the circumflex artery itself.

INFERIOR PORTAL FOR HIP ARTHROSCOPY: A PILOT STUDY PART 1. Background and Hypothesis Arkhipov S.V., Independent Researcher, Joensuu, Finland Abstract: The article presents, theoretically and graphically substantiates the technique of a new arthroscopic approach to the central compartment of the hip joint. It is proposed to introduce the optical system of the arthroscope from below through the acetabular notch without traction. Similar approaches were used for puncture, arthroscopy, arthrography, and arthrotomy of the hip joint. Diagnostics using the described lower portal will exclude complications caused by distraction of the leg and compression of the perineal support during surgery. CONTENTS PART 1.

Ancient Textual Sources on Ligamentum Teres: Context and Transmission S.V. Arkhipov, I.V. Prolygina KEYWORDS: ancient medicine; ancient traumatology; Galen; Hippocrates; hip joint; ligamentum capitis femoris; ligament of head of femur; ligamentum teres. SUMMARY Background. One of the least researched anatomical structures of the human body is the ligament of head of femur, most often referred to as ligamentum teres. The history of the nomination of this term, medical contexts of its use, the etymology and the first synonyms (Figure 1) are not sufficiently understood. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the most complete collection of evidence from ancient medical authors about the term ligamentum teres, trace the history of its nomination and analyze the gradual changes in the level of knowledge about the anatomy, mechanical and geometric properties of this structure, its pathology and treatment methods. Methods. The study is based on an inter...
