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.

How TeresI Helps Us

Teresi – a small ligament of the hip joint, also known as the round ligament (lat. ligamentum teres). It supports the body and thus reduces the load on the hip joint. I would like to explain how this important structure helps us.

130bcHegetor

Fragment from the treatise Hegetor On Causes ( Περὶ αὶτιῶν , ca. 130 BC). The author writes about the connecting function and attachment areas of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also points out its damage during hip dislocation. See our commentary at the link: 130bcHegetor [Rus], and 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ; translation into Latin: 1745CocchiA . Quote [Grc] Περὶ αὶτιῶν . (original source: 1834DietzFR, pp. 34-35; see also: 1965KolleschJ_KudlienF, pp. 78, 80) Translation [Eng] On Causes . Why don’t those who rely only on experience seek to find any other [way] of reduction the femoral head for those who have it dislocated, in such a way that every time it dislocates, it can be reset? After all, we can observe that the lower jaw, and the humeral head, the elbow, and the knee, and each finger, and the majority of joints that may dislocate, can be reset in a similar way. For, not being able to understand why this joint only, after dislocation and repeated reduc...

1882ReevesHA

Fragments from the book Reeves HA. Human Morphology: A Treatise on Practical and Applied Anatomy. Vol. 1. (1882). The author describes the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its role. Quote pp. 451 - 452 By arrangement with the dissector of the abdomen, who will be interested in the observation, the student should carefully trephine or chisel out a small piece from the roof of the acetabulum in order to observe what has already been stated with regard to the capsule, and also to note how the ligamentum teres is affected with regard to its tension or laxity in the various movements of the joint. He may also try to inject into the joint some warm tallow so as to note if there be any hernial protrusions or projections of the synovial membrane between the layers of the capsule, or whether the synovial membrane of the joint communicates with any of the neighbouring bursæ, more especially with the psoas bursa.

Fragment from the book Singer CJ (Ed., trans.). On anatomical procedures: De anatomicis administrationibus (1956). Galen writes about the high resiliency and hardness of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also notes its connective function. See our commentary at the link: 1956SingerCJ [Rus], and 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV . Quote. p. 55. [Eng] On anatomical procedures; Book II. Chapter 10. As with the arm you examined the ligaments of the bones, so now examine those of all the exposed joints and first of the hip. This has one ligament embracing it [capsular ligament], as with all joints. A second, hidden in the depths of the joint [ligamentum teres], ties the head of the femur to the hollow in the hip-bone [acetabulum]. It is so tough that it could be called a 'cartilaginous sinew'.
