Set of Classifications

  General Classification of LCF Pathology Version : 20240420 Annotation Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of LCF Pathology. Introduction In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. L.I. Gaevskaya distinguished three types of LCF: 1) long and thick (length 41–51 mm, thickness 5 mm), 2) short and thin (length 10–20 mm, thickness 1 mm), 3) long and of small thickness (length 43–45 mm, with a thickness of 3 mm, and length 28–30 mm with a thickness of 4–5 mm) (1954 ГаевскаяЛИ ). V.V. Kovanov, A.A. Travin identified three varieties of histological structure of LCF: 1) with a predominance of loose connective tissue; 2) with a predominance of dense connective tissue; 3) with a uniform distribution of loose and dense connective tissue ( 1963 КовановВВ _ ТравинАА ). The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to i...

1495Johannes de Ketham

  Fragment from the book Johannes de Ketham. Fasciculus medicine (1495). An excerpt from the treatise by Mondino de Luzzi describing the anatomy and role of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) damage in the genesis of hip diseases. The pathogenesis of lameness and soft tissue atrophy of the leg in LCF pathology is discussed. The cited author uses and explains a rare synonym for LCF – « vertebrum ». The original in Latin in our adaptation. The treatise by Mondino de Luzzi was also published in other works: 1541MondinoL_DryanderJ , 1550CortiM .  See our commentary at the link:   1495Johannes de Ketham [Rus]. Quote. [Lat] De esse ossium & cuibus in locis dirigunt. Et primura est os femoris supra quod fabricati sunt spondiles dorsi: & per consequens totum corpus.

  Fragments of the book Cooper AP. A Treatise on Dislocations and Fractures of the Joints (1851) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author discusses changes in the LCF during hip fractures, dislocations and role of its blood vessels in supplying the femoral head.   Quote pp. 51-52 ON DISLOCATIONS IN GENERAL. … Mr. Howden, who was one of our most intelligent apprentices at Guy's Hospital, and was afterwards surgeon in the army, related the following case: - A man had his thigh dislocated upwards and backwards on the ilium, which was soon after reduced; the next day a considerable swelling was observed on the part, which continued to increase, accompanied with rigors, and in four days the patient died. On dissection, the capsular ligaments, and ligamentum teres, were found entirely torn away, and a considerable quantity of pus extravasated in the surrounding parts." * (See Minutes of the Physical Society, Guy's Hospital, Nov. 12th, 1791.)
