1763WaltherJG

 

Fragments from the Walter J. G. Abhandlung von trocknen Knochen des menschlichen Körpers (1763). The author indicates the location of the proximal attachment of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its role. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser.

Quote p. 246

Endlich hat das corpus ischii drei incisuras, die eine befindet sich über der Mitte des foraminis ovalis, und ist der untere fehlende Teil von der circumferenz des acetabuli, diese incisur wird durch das ligamentum transvesale zugeschlossen, unter welchera das ligamentum teres zu dem capite des ossis femoris fortgehet.

Quote pp. 255-256.

Fundus acetabuli, es ist der rauhe Ort, der sich ganz in der Tiese des acetabuli befindet, es fangt der fundus acetabuli da an zu entstehen, wo das acetabulum inwendig mit dem Knorpel überzogen zu werden audshört. Der fundus acetabuli, in welchem sich der ganze Klumpe von Gelenkdrusen leget, ist weit tiefer als die cavitas articularis und das caput des ossis femoris, welches durch das ligamentum teres gegen den fundum festgehalten wird, berüret nicht diesen fundum, damit die Gelenkdrüsen zum grössesten Nuzzen des ossis femoris in ihrem Absonderungsgeschäste nicht gestöret warden.

1614PlatterF

Fragment from the book Platter F. Observationum (1614). The author notes the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in fixing the femur in the acetabulum and the possibility of its lengthening  (synovitis) . Quote pp. 141-142 [Lat] Cruris dextri astrictio & contractio, post coxendicum dolorem. Cùm enim ligamentum illud articulum circumd ás, omnium totius corporis ligamentorum, quae articulos ambiunt, sit amplissimum; fieri potest, ut adeò cedat, ut (sicuti saepe sit) femoris caput, è suo sinu devoluatur, & in membranae illius (quae cùm erassissima sit, prae omnibus totius corporis ligamentis, nunquam vi qualicunque disrumpi potest) amplitudine seu capacitate subsistat, elongato simul & vehementer attracto, tereti illo & crasso, quod caput aliàs in suo sinu retinere solet, ligamento. Quod & ob tensionem illam nimiam, astrictum & induratum, chordae alicuius crasssissimae & firmisimae instar, quae nunquam disrumpi, nunquam ab acetabulo, cuius cartilag...

1833GerdyPN

  P.N. Gerdy, in his experiment, discovered tensioning of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) during thigh adduction. At the same time, it was noted for the first time that the consequence of LCF tension during hip adduction is a downward and lateral displacement of the femoral head. Normally, this mechanism provides unloading of the upper articular surfaces when supporting one leg (see 1874SavoryWS ). The translation from French was done in collaboration with ChatGPT 3.5.   Gerdy PN. Physiologie médicale, didactique et critique. T. 1. Paris: Librairie de Crochard, 1833. [fragment] Quote pp. 551-554   L'inclinaison de la cuisse en dehors, que l'on nomme son abduction, est un mouvement assez étendu, mais qui pourtant ne permet pas à la cuisse de se placer perpendiculairement à sa direction verticale.

1921BrausH

  Fragments from the book: Braus H. Angeborene Gelenkveränderungen, bedingt durch künstliche Beeinflussung des Anlagemateriales (1921). The author describes the anatomy, attachment, shape, properties and changes in pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The text in German. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1921BrausH . Quote p. 523-524. Eine Besonderheit der Hüftpfanne ist ein Fenster in ihrer Wandung. Der knöcherne Rand, an welchem die Pfannenlippe angeheftet ist, ist nach unten zw breit eingeschnitten, Incisura acetabuli (Abb. 90). Die Pfannenlippo ist trotzdem ein geschlossener Ring, weil die genannte Lücke durch ein Band, Ligamentum transversum acetabuli. überbrückt wird und weil die Pfannenlippe auf dieses Band fortgesetzt ist (Abb. 258). So ist der ventil artige Abschluß des Pfannenrandes gegen den Schenkelkopf gewahrt und trotz dem der Eintritt eines Bandes in den Innenraum des Gelenkes durch das Fenster unterhalb des Bandes möglich.
