1715MunnicksJ

Fragments from the book Munnicks J. Cheirurgia ad praxin (1715). The author describes the attachment, shape and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Johannes Munnicks discusses the cause of possible subluxation in the hip joint. The quoted text is close in content to an excerpt from a monograph by the same author 1697MunnicksJ.

Femoris luxacio

XVII. FEMORIS OS, omnium in corpore humano maximum & longissimum, capite suo globoso, valida cervice subnixo, & cartilagine obducto, coxendicis acetabulo, amplo satis & profundo, committur in eoque duobus validis ligamentis detinetur; uno lato crasso, & membranoso, quod articulum totum circundat altero tereti quod ab ipsa acetabuli cavitate productum, in susceptum femoris caput inseritur, idque acetabulo sirmissimè connectit sicque articulatio hæc per Enarthrosin Diarthroseos persicitur: ut adeò femur facilius & expeditius flecti extendi, in latera moveri, & circumverti, nec facilè prolabi possit.

…

Attamen à causa interna Subluxatio hujus articuli forsan contingere potest: tum enim ligamenta ac vincula emollita admodum & relaxata ossis caput acetabuli margini insistens retrahere & revehere nequeunt.

Dislocation of the femur

XVII. The femur, the largest and longest in the human body, is connected by its spherical head, supported by a strong neck and covered with cartilage, to the acetabulum of the hip joint, which is quite large and deep, and is held in it by two strong ligaments: one wide, thick and membranous, which surrounds the entire joint, and the other round, which comes directly from the cavity of the acetabulum itself and is attached to the head of the femur, thus firmly connecting it to the acetabulum. This articulation is provided by the type of enarthrosis diarthrosis, which allows the hip to flex, extend, move laterally and rotate easily and freely, without allowing it to shift easily.

…

However, internal causes can lead to subluxation of this joint: when softened and relaxed ligaments and connections are unable to hold the head of the bone on the edge of the acetabulum.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

Article by Walmsley T. A note on the retinacula of Weitbrecht (1916). The author discusses the embryonic development and relationships of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in humans and animals. A NOTE ON THE RETINACULA OF WEITBRECHT. By THOMAS WALMSLEY, M.B., Senior Demonstrator in Anatomy, University of Glasgow. The synovial membrane of the hip-joint is in extent and attachment similar to that of other diarthroses, but the retinacula of Weitbrecht (or ligaments of Stanley) lend to it a special interest. These retinacula are readily recognized on the interior of the capsule as flattened bands passing inwards towards the margin of the head of the femur from the attachment of the peripheral capsule. The following description of their constitution may be selected as expressive of current opinion. The retinacula are arranged in three groups, superior, middle, and inferior: structurally, they are synovial covered capsular reflections: morphologic...

1832MeckelJF

Fragments of the book Meckel JF. Manual of general, descriptive, and pathological anatomy (1832) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author briefly discusses abnormalities of the LCF and its distal insertion. Quote p. 257 § 308. Among the deviations from the normal state, primitive deviations of the external form are rare, and usually attend anomalies of the other tissues. Among these we arrange, for instance, the absence of the tendons of the abdominal muscles, that of the ligaments of the vertebral column, and that of the dura mater of the brain and spinal marrow, &c., in a congenital fissure of the abdomen, of the vertebral column, and of the skull, and that of the tendons and the muscles of a finger, when the finger itself is wanting. But the fibrous organs are seldom deficient, when the other tissues with which they combine to form a part are present — for instance, the tendon alone of a muscle is rarely absent, or the tunica sclerotica, when the othe...
