Fragments from the book Soemmerring ST. De Corporis Humani Fabrica. T.2. (1794). The author describes the form, attachment, structure and function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet. There is a known version of the treatise in German: 1791SoemmerringST.

Quote p. 52-53

Ligamentum teres capitis femoris.

WEITBRECHT Tab. XVIII. Fig. LVI. 1 HOM. SCHWENCKE Haematologia, acc. obs. anatomic. de acetabuli ligamento interno, caput femoris sirmante, c. tab. Hagae comit. 1743. 8vo. e femina duo et vigiuti annos nata hos ligamentum delineat.

§. LXXXIIII.

Ligamentum hoc, caput ossis femoris cum acetabulo connectens, in fundo acetabuli prisma refert.

Basis interni ossis femoris caput tangentis lateris ligamento labri cartilaginosi transverso interno illigatur.

Basis superioris acetabulum tangentis lateris e sine marginis inferioris cornu superioris oritur.

Latus inferius maximam partem e fovea ambo cornua inter oritur, et quibusdam tantum femoris directionibus factis acetabulum tangit.

Membrana lubrica, qua tegitur, hinc illinc falces format, quae foveam versus longiores fiunt, et unguen articulare recipiunt, quin et interne unam vel alteram fibram tendinosam exhibent. (Ligamenta massa adiposae, WEITBRECHT Fig. LVI. I.)

Translation

[Eng]

Ligamentum teres capitis femoris.

WEITBRECHT Tab. XVIII. Fig. LVI. 1 HOM. SCHWENCKE Haematologia, acc. obs. anatomic. de acetabuli ligamento interno, caput femoris sirmante, c. tab. Hagae comit. 1743. 8vo. e femina duo et vigiuti annos nata hos ligamentum delineat.

§. LXXXIIII.

This ligament, which connects the head of the femur to the acetabulum, rests on the floor of the acetabulum and resembles a prism.

The surface of the inner side touching the head of the femur is attached to the transverse internal ligament of the cartilaginous edge.

The surface of the superior side touching the acetabulum begins from the superior horn of the inferior edge of the semilunar surface of the acetabulum.

The inferior side mostly arises from the fossa between both horns of the semilunar surface of the acetabulum and touches the acetabulum only in certain directions of movement of the femur.

The slippery membrane with which it is covered forms folds that become longer towards the fossa and contain joint lubrication and also have one or two tendon fibers inside. (Ligament and fat mass, WEITBRECHT Fig. LVI. I.)

It limits the movement of the femur in the upper and outer directions.
