So wie die äußere Knorpelfläche das eigentliche Gelenk ausmacht an welchem sich der Schenkelkopf bewegt, so dient die rauhe innere Grube zur Aufnahme Haversischer Drüsen deren Gelenkschmiere diese Bewegung erleichtert.

Endlich ist auf dem Boden der innern Grube nach unten noch eine rauhe kleine Bertiefung zu merken, in welcher das runde kurze Band ansikt, dessen andres. Ende auf dem Schenkelkopf befestigt ist (**)

Catalog. Classifications of LCF Pathology

The classifications are intended to systematize of ligamentum capitis femoris pathology and assist in the development of general approaches to its description, registration, analysis and treatment. Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, hip joint, histology, pathological anatomy, pathology, trauma INTRODUCTION In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to identify various, previously undescribed types of LCF pathology, which prompted the development of various modern classifications based on intraoperative observations. Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of the Ligamentum Teres Pathology, which has the form of a collection of classifiers, as well as a Classification of Functions of the Ligamentum Teres. The ...

BIOMECHANICS OF THE HIP JOINT WITHOUT LCF

Biomechanics of the hip joint without LCF Do you remember the comparison of the ligamentum teres with the spring element of a cart? ( 1874SavoryWS ). An analogy could arise after reading the book Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . Most orthopedists still think so.
