Fragment from the book Mondino de Luzzi, Dryander J. Anatomia Mundini (1541). An early description of the anatomy and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is presented. The pathogenesis of lameness and soft tissue atrophy in LCF pathology is discussed. For more details, see the commentary in 1541MondinoL_DryanderJ [Rus]. 

Quote p. 62.

[Lat]

De anatomia cruris [&] pedis.

Postea eleua musculos & chordas &, uide ossa. Et primura est os foemoris supra quod fabricatae sunt spondiles dorsi: & per consequens totum corpus in parte inferiori habet pixidem quondam, in cuius concauitate locata est extremitas rotunda canna coxae, que uocatur uertebrum. Et in medio amborum in parte anteriori est quod dam ligamentum, quod aliomodo porestuocari uertebrum: & quando hoc uel primum resilit foras: tunc niecesse ed hominem claudicare, quia crus hic elongatur & firmari non potest; & totum non bene potest supportari: & necesse eit etiam ut crus tabescat: quia uene que pertranseunt inferius propter oppressionem, & obliquationem quodammodo oppilantur, lscet non perfecte: & iunctura haec istorum duorum ossium uocatur scia; unde dolor eius denominatus ect sciaticus:

Translation

[Eng]

On the anatomy of the leg [and] foot.

Then remove the muscles and tendons and examine the bones. And the first is the femur, on which the vertebrae of the back are built and, consequently, the whole body, in the lower part [of it] there is a cavity, in the hollow of which the round end of the neck of the femur is placed, which is called a vertebra (uertebrum). And between the two, in the front part, there is a ligament, which is otherwise called a vertebra (uertebrum) and when it is displaced, a person begins to limp, because the leg is lengthened and cannot be held, and the whole body cannot be securely supported. Also, the leg atrophies, because the veins passing below are partially blocked and compressed, although not completely. This connection of the two bones is called sciatic (scia), and the pain from this is called sciatic (sciaticus).
