An excerpt from the article by Bardeen CR. Studies of the development of the human skeleton (1905). The author briefly discusses the emergence of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).
Quote p. 287
The hip-joint is
represented at first by a dense mass of scleroblastema, Fig. 55. The
development of the acetabulum by ingrowth and fusion of processes from the
iliac, ischial and pubic cartilages has already been described. The
cartilagenous joint-cavity is at first quite shallow, Fig. 56. But extension of
cartilage into the blastemal tissue which passes from the pelvis over the head
of the femur serves greatly to deepen it on all sides except in the region of
the cotyloid notch.
The joint-cavity is
at first completely filled with a dense blastemat tissue, Fig. 56. While the
embryo is growing from 20 to 30 mm. in length cavity formation begins in the
tissue lying between the cartilagenous floor of the acetabulum and the head of
the femur. The first stage in the process is marked by a condensation of the
capsular tissue immediately bordering upon the joint and of the perichondral
tissue which at this stage covers the cartilages on their articular surfaces as
well as elsewhere. In the region of the ligamentum teres a fibrous band is likewise
differentiated from the blastema of the joint. The rest of the tissue becomes
looser in texture and ultimately is absorbed, Fig. 57. Henke and Reyher, 74,
gave a good account of the development of the hip joint. Moser has discussed
the ligamentum teres.

PLATE XII.
FIG. 54. Section from Embryo CXLIV, length 14 mm., showing the pubic, iliac and ischial cartilages. 14 diam. FIG.55. Section passing longitudinally through the femur and tibia of Embryo CLXXV, length 1S mm. A portion of the foot-plate is shown cut obliquely. 14 diam. FIG.56. Longitudinal section through the ilium, femur, and tibia of Embryo XXII, length 20 mm. 1.6 diam. FIG.57. Section through the pubis, ilium, ischium and head of the femur of Embryo CCXXVII, length 30 mm. The hip-joint cavity shows well. It does not extend into the region of the ligamentum teres. 14 diam. FIG. 58. Section through the ilium, ischium and head of the femur of Embryo LXXIX, length 33 mm. Calcification is beginning in the ilium. |
