2013ClaytonM PhiloR

Fragment from the book Clayton M, Philo R. Leonardo da Vinci: The mechanics of man (2013). The authors describe a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci depicting the insertion site of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The drawing was created in the winter of 1510-1511 in Milan while studying the anatomy of the human body (1510Leonardo_da Vinci).

Quote p. 90

The slightly enlarged upper head of the fibula and the blunted appearance of the styloid processes at the end of the tibia and fibula may have resulted from using freshly prepared bones, with portions of ligaments and cartilage remaining, rather than dried bones. A small piece of ligament seems to be visible on the head of the femur in the drawings below, at upper right and at upper center, and the patella drawn in isolation at upper left appears to have some of the patellar ligament remaining on its lower edge.

1833GerdyPN

P.N. Gerdy, in his experiment, discovered tensioning of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) during thigh adduction. At the same time, it was noted for the first time that the consequence of LCF tension during hip adduction is a downward and lateral displacement of the femoral head. Normally, this mechanism provides unloading of the upper articular surfaces when supporting one leg (see 1874SavoryWS ). The translation from French was done in collaboration with ChatGPT 3.5.
