[i] During traumatic hip fracture-dislocation, the attainment of concentric reduction in the joint is commonly impeded by the presence of a bony fragment and, less frequently, by injuries to the soft tissues such as a torn acetabular labrum, ruptured capsule, or ligamentum teres.  

Complications in patients who underwent open arthrotomy included a 37% incidence of postoperative heterotopic ossification (HO), along with cases of cosmetic deformity and ligamentum teres rupture.  


[ii] Patients aged ≥40 years had a higher prevalence of ligamentum teres damage (P< .001) and underwent ligamentum teres debridement at higher rates (54% vs 35%; P = .02) as well as higher rates of femoroplasty (74% vs 57%; P = .03).  


[iii] The fibroblasts in patients with AS (ankylosing spondylitis) were obtained from the ligamentum teres of the hip during total hip arthroplasty. 


[iv]  Persistent anterior or lateral hip impingement test might indicate an under resection of Cam or Pincer deformity and a possible re-tear of the labrum, a positive O'Donnell test might indicate ligamentum teres (LT) pathology,… 


[v] Studies show preliminary traction decreasing the incidence of AVN undergoing CR for DDH [20, 21, 22], but any traction will have an insignificant effect on the main obstacles for reduction for eg. pulvinar, tight hour-glass capsule, transverse acetabular ligament, hypertrophied ligamentum teres (all intracapsular).


[vi] Various factors may lead to poor results of hip arthroscopy in BDDH treatment [1, 25, 42]. Studies found that preoperative tearing of the round ligament can lead to lower mental and psychological scores in BDDH patients after hip arthroscopy, making it more difficult to achieve PASS, and significantly increasing the patient’s risk of reoperation or even THA [1, 20].

[vii] The femoral head, meanwhile, remains within the acetabulum, constrained by the ligamentum teres, but may rotate to assume a posteroinferior position relative to the shaft.

Abstract

Background Hip-preserving surgery in young patients frequently reveals lesions of the ligamentum teres (LT). Histological and clinical evidence supports that those lesions could be source of intraarticular hip pain. It has been hypothesized that LT degeneration could be linked to the abnormal positioning of the fovea outside the lunate surface during various daily motions. We introduce the “fossa-foveolar mismatch” (FFM) by determining the trajectory of the fovea in the fossa during hip motions, enabling a comparison across diverse hip-pathomorphologies.

Conclusions The FFM-index showed excellent intraobserver reliability and interobserver reproducibility for all motions. This innovative approach deepens our understanding of biomechanical implications, providing valuable insights for identifying patient populations at risk. 


Fig. 1 The fossa-foveolar mismatch is illustrated by displaying (A) no fossa-foveolar mismatch and (B) presence of a fossa-foveolar mismatch with a pathologic foveolar tracking pattern for the motion of everyday life internal/external rotation in 90 degrees flexion (Commons Attribution 4.0 International)

  About the Book of Genesis of the Gothic Bible (4th century). A Gothic term that may have been used to refer to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of an animal and a human. See our commentary at the link: 4cent.Gothic Bible [Rus]. Quote [ Got ] Genesis 32:33 (possible term;  original source  lost) Translation [Eng] Genesis 32:33 The original text and English translation are currently unavailable to our project. Suggested term: … gabinda ( gabundi) … The closest analogue is in the Epistle to the Colossians 2:19 — jah ni habands haubiþ, us þammei all leik þairh gawissins jah gabindos auknando jah þeihando wahseiþ du wahstau gudis. — καὶ οὐ κρατῶν τὴν κεφαλήν , ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα διὰ τῶν ἁφῶν καὶ συνδέσμων ἐπιχορηγούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον αὔξει τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ θεοῦ . — And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

  The authors reported a case of open hip dislocation and documented avulsion of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) from the acetabulum.  The injured LCF appeared as a large cord-like structure, attached to the femoral head ( Fig. 1 ). Perhaps Hippocrates of Kos saw such an LCF in open dislocation of the hip and described it in his treatise «Mochlicus» ( 1886AdamsF ). One year later, the patient's x-ray revealed a significant narrowing of the joint space in the upper part of the hip joint ( Fig. 9 ). In our opinion, this to be a consequence of hyaline cartilage wear due to overload in the absence of LCF. In an unaffected hip joint, the width of the radiological joint space at the upper section than in the lower section ( Ossification of the LCF ). When examined one year after the injury, the patient could stand on one leg. We noticed that his body was excessively deviated towards the supporting hip joint, and the opposite half of the pelvis was elevated ( Fig. 8 ). This is a me

1875BrauneW

  We present a study dedicated to the experimental investigation of the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Wilhelm Braune established that the LCF prevents hip supination and adduction, especially during flexion. In the conclusion of the study, the author writes: "It also remains to determine in which body movements this ligament function plays a role, as it is currently unclear why the femur requires a special fixing device…". Apparently, Wilhelm Braune did not have time to find the answer, since his outstanding monograph on LCF does not say a word ( Braune W, Fischer O. Der Gang des Menschen (1895 books.google ) . Based on our own experiments on mechanical models and research, we believe that adduction and supination of the hip, along with flexion, are observed at the beginning of the single-support period of the step. At this moment, tension occurs in the LCF, allowing to reduce the load on the upper segment of the femoral head. The LCF is also stretched in

2016ArkhipovaAS Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements.

  Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements The classification of joints with flexible elements was first proposed by A.S. Arkhipova in 2016 and presented at conferences in 2016-2017 ( 2017АрхиповаАС ). Joints with flexible elements are divided by the author into detachable and non-detachable, three-axis, two-axis, and single-axis. Each can contain in various combinations one or more external and internal flexible elements - analogs of joint ligaments, including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Conditional designations of joints with flexible elements using the example of a ball joint: Detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Non-detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Flexible e

1879MorrisH

  Fragments of the book Morris H. The anatomy of the joints of man (1879) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author discusses the anatomy of the LCF and describes his experiments to study its movement.   Quote p p . 318-319 The acetabulum is partly articular, partly non-articular. The articular portion is of horseshoe shape, and extends inwards from the margin, more or less. It is altogether deficient at the cotyloid notch, which corresponds with the gap of the horseshoe. It is the widest at the iliac part, where it is over one inch from without inwards; then it very gradually gets narrower along the ischium, but widens out again at the ischial end of the cotyloid notch ; forwards from the pubo-iliac suture it narrows more rapidly, and does not extend quite up to the pubic end of the cotyloid notch. At its narrowest point in an adult bone it measures half an inch in width. When coated with cartilage, and fringed round with the cotyloid ligament, it fits very closel

150-250Targum Jonathan

  Fragments from the Targum Jonathan on Genesis. Tractate was written between about 150 - 250 in lend of Israel. The text is a combination of a translation and commentary on the book of Bereshit. The unknown compiler mentions ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in an animal and an episode of its damage in a human. See our commentary at the link: 150-250Targum Jonathan [Rus]. Quote 1. [Heb] Genesis. 32:33 (original source:  sefaria.org ) Quote 2. [Heb] Genesis. 43:16 (original source:  sefaria.org ) Translation Quote 1. [Eng] Genesis. 32:33 Therefore, the sons of Israel eat not the sinew which shrank, which is in the hollow of the thigh of cattle and of wild animals, until this day; because the Angel touched and laid hold of the hollow of the right thigh of Jakob, in the place of the sinew which shrank.

1679DiemerbroeckI

  Fragments from the book Diemerbroeck I. Anatome corporis humani (1679). The author describes the pathology variants, function, topography and attachment of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The damage to the LCF in hip dislocation, symptoms and treatment are discussed. The text is similar to a paraphrase of Hegetor's work «On Causes» and Galen of Pergamon's commentary on Hippocrates' treatise «On Joints» ( 1745CocchiA ;  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ). Isbrand van Diemerbroeck uses many synonyms for LCF: nervus cartilaginosus, terete, teres, rotundum ligamentum, interius ligamentum. Quote p. 593. [Lat] CAPUT XIX. De Ossibus Femoris, & Cruris.

2014ArkhipovaAS

  In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).   Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S.
