1614PlatterF

Fragment from the book Platter F. Observationum (1614). The author notes the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in fixing the femur in the acetabulum and the possibility of its lengthening  (synovitis) . Quote pp. 141-142 [Lat] Cruris dextri astrictio & contractio, post coxendicum dolorem. Cùm enim ligamentum illud articulum circumd ás, omnium totius corporis ligamentorum, quae articulos ambiunt, sit amplissimum; fieri potest, ut adeò cedat, ut (sicuti saepe sit) femoris caput, è suo sinu devoluatur, & in membranae illius (quae cùm erassissima sit, prae omnibus totius corporis ligamentis, nunquam vi qualicunque disrumpi potest) amplitudine seu capacitate subsistat, elongato simul & vehementer attracto, tereti illo & crasso, quod caput aliàs in suo sinu retinere solet, ligamento. Quod & ob tensionem illam nimiam, astrictum & induratum, chordae alicuius crasssissimae & firmisimae instar, quae nunquam disrumpi, nunquam ab acetabulo, cuius cartilag...

Depicting the circumstances and mechanism of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury based on the description in the Book of Genesis: 25 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him. … 33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.

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.   Gerdy PN. Physiologie médicale, didactique et critique. T. 1. Paris: Librairie de Crochard, 1833. [fragment] Quote pp. 551-554   L'inclinaison de la cuisse en dehors, que l'on nomme son abduction, est un mouvement assez étendu, mais qui pourtant ne permet pas à la cuisse de se placer perpendiculairement à sa direction verticale. Les batteleurs peuvent se reposer sur un plan horizontal, les cuisses écartées en sens opposé. Dans l'inclinaison ...

The pathogenesis of lameness and soft tissue atrophy in LCF pathology is discussed. For more details, see the comment 1550CortiM [Rus] . Quote p. 376-377. [Lat] De anatomia cruris & pedis. Postea eleua musculos & chordas & vide ossa. Et primum est os foemoris supra quod fabricati sunt spondyles dorsi: & per consequens totum corpus. In parte inferiori habet pixidem quondam: in cuius concauitate locata est extremitas rotunda canna coxe: quae vertebrum vocatur. & in medio amborum in parte interiori est quod dam ligamentum quod potest vocari vertebrum: & quando hoc vel primum resilit foras: tunc niecesse est hominem claudicare: quia crus hoc elongatur & firmari non potest: nec totum potest bene supportari: & necesse est vt crus tabescat: quia uene quae p...

The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1921BrausH . Quote p. 523-524. Eine Besonderheit der Hüftpfanne ist ein Fenster in ihrer Wandung. Der knöcherne Rand, an welchem die Pfannenlippe angeheftet ist, ist nach unten zw breit eingeschnitten, Incisura acetabuli (Abb. 90). Die Pfannenlippo ist trotzdem ein geschlossener Ring, weil die genannte Lücke durch ein Band, Ligamentum transversum acetabuli. überbrückt wird und weil die Pfannenlippe auf dieses Band fortgesetzt ist (Abb. 258). So ist der ventil artige Abschluß des Pfannenrandes gegen den Schenkelkopf gewahrt und trotz dem der Eintritt eines Bandes in den Innenraum des Gelenkes durch das Fenster unterhalb des Bandes möglich.

1883SuttonJB

  According to the author, the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is a tendon of the pectineus muscle, separated from it in consequence of skeletal modifications.   THE LIGAMENTUM TERES By J. B. SUTTON, Demonstrator of Anatomy, Middlesex Hospital. (PLATE VIII.) The round ligament of the coxo-femoral articulation has long been an anatomical puzzle, consequently many diverse notions exist concerning it. Some anatomists ascribe to this hollow band of fibrous tissue very important functions in the mechanism of the hip-joint; others deprive it of all glory, simply assigning to it the menial duty of conveying blood-vessels to the head of the femur. Certain authors content themselves with a brief description of its attachments; others give elaborate and detailed accounts, extending over several pages, of its anatomy and supposed function. My object in the present communication is to show that this singular ligament is nothing more than the tendon of the pectineus muscle, sepa...
