[i] In equines manifesting dysplasia within this joint, the detection of bilateral gluteal muscle atrophy is feasible, concomitant with the manifestation of cranial luxation or subluxation of the femoral head [5,6]. The luxation and subluxation coxofemoral include external rotation of the hind limbs, with the femorotibial joint and digits turned laterally, resulting in medial rotation of the hock, resembling a valgus deviation. Pelvic asymmetry is also observed in unilateral cases, along with severe lameness, often preventing support of the pelvic limbs and potentially leading to an inability to walk. Subluxation tends to develop due to chronic injuries to the acetabulum or the ligament of the femoral head [5,6,7].

The chronic lesions in the acetabulum, femoral head and femoral head ligament, as demonstrated later in the anatomopathological examination, point to a continuous subluxation of the joint.

  

[ii] Labral reconstruction options include autografts or allografts 7. … Local autograft sites include the ligamentum teres, indirect head of the rectus femoris, iliotibial band, and hip capsule15,18-23,25.

Among the local autograft sites, the utility of ligamentum teres graft is limited because its harvesting requires an open approach 21,22.

  

[iii] Less than 10% of the femoral head is supplied by the branch of the obturator artery through the ligamentum teres.

 

[iv] Two ligaments aid in coxofemoral (hip) joint stabilization by preventing the separation of the bones (os coxae and femur), The ligament. capitis femoris, also known as the femoral head ligament or round ligament and the transverse acetabular ligament without these ligaments dislocation can occur at the coxofemoral (hip) joint. Furthermore, the coxofemoral joint capsule extends from the neck of the femur to the acetabulum's border [1-4]. 

Ligaments. The Canine coxofemoral joint was stabilized by two ligaments; the transverse acetabular ligament (Fig. 6/2) was a thin band that crossed the acetabular notch and closed the acetabulum's margin, located at the ventrocaudal zone of the acetabulum, and the other ligament was the (femoral head) round ligament (Fig. 6/1) a dense cord of collagenic material that extended from the fovea capitis in the femoral head to the acetabular fossa within the joint capsule.

Fig. 6. shows ligaments that stabilize the Canine hip joint. 1, round (femoral head) ligament extending from the fovea capitis of the femoral head to the acetabular fossa; 2, transverse acetabular ligament closing the acetabular rim; 3, femoral head 4, greater trochanter; 5, shaft of the femur; 6, ilium; 6’, iliac crest; 7, pubis; 8, ischium; 8’, ischial tuberosity; 8’’, ischial arch; 9, obturator foramen; 10, pelvic symphysis; 11, acetabular rim; 12, semilunar facet of the acetabulum. (EJVS is a Free Access journal).

 

[v] In the acetabular fossa (), the ligamentum teres appeared torn and friable. Once the ligamentum teres was debrided, the exostosis was apparent in the anterior and inferior region of the fossa (zone 1; Fig. 4b), but its consistency was softer than the surrounding bone.

The anterior acetabulum is oriented at the top of the images. (a) View of the acetabular fossa upon initial inspection of the joint after clearing hemarthrosis. (b) View of acetabular fossa once the residual ligamentum teres was removed with a shaver with the exostosis marked by an asterisk. (c) Radiofrequency ablation of the body exostosis was performed with a curved, hip-length arthroscopic radiofrequency ablation device.

[vi] Likewise, in cats, the artery of the ligament of the head of the femur also contributes to epiphyseal blood supply, and this route may explain why Legg-Calvé-Perthes is not generally observed in cats.

 

[vii] By the age of 10, the artery of ligamentum teres develops sufficiently to provide approximately 20% of the blood supply to the femoral head [9].

9. Trueta J. The normal vascular anatomy of the human femoral head during growth. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1957;39-B:358–94. doi: 10.1302/0301-620X.39B2.358. [DOI] [PubMed] [Google Scholar]


Damage to the ligamentum teres and capsule occurs when the hip dislocates posteriorly. AVN might ensue from this, compromising the femoral head’s blood supply from both the ligamentum teres and the retinacular veins. 


[viii] There were no clear MR signs of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. There was mild to moderate hip joint effusion. The joint space was still preserved. The articular cartilage, transverse ligament, ligamentum teres, and labrum were intact.

 

[ix] Across the iliofemoral Smith-Peterson approach, the iliac apophysis was divided into two halves and dissected laterally. The origins of gluteus medius and gluteus minimus were elevated subperiosteally. The dislocated head was approached after opening the left hip joint capsule. The fibrous tissue, hypertrophied ligamentum teres, and pulvinar fat from the acetabulum were excised. The head was reduced into the native acetabulum and subtrochanteric osteotomy was done.

  

[x] A safe surgical dislocation of the hip (Ganz dislocation) was achieved by flexing and externally rotating the hip followed by cutting the ligamentum teres with curved scissors. The fracture epiphysis was temporarily fixed with a K-wire and then secured with two Herbert screws. 

 

[xi] The capsule was initially exposed, sliced parallel to the rim of the acetabulum and approximately 1 cm distal to it, and then cut at a right angle to the first incision to create a T-shaped incision. The ligamentum teres was found, removed from the head, and secured using Kocher forceps to identify the site of the actual acetabulum. Using scissors, it was separated from the true acetabulum. A tiny nibbler was used to remove the hypertrophied fibro-fatty tissue (pulvinar) till the articular cartilage was seen to clean the acetabular floor. Sectioning the transverse acetabular ligament made head reduction easier.

 

[xii] Many auto- or allograft options now exist for labral reconstruction, including ITB, semitendinosus, indirect head of the rectus femoris tendon, gracilis, peroneus brevis, labrum allograft, meniscus allograft, and ligamentum teres. 16, 17

17. S.F. DeFroda, B. Crist, J.L. Cook Arthroscopic hip labral reconstruction with fresh meniscal allograft Arthrosc Tech, 12 (2023), pp. e813-e821

 

[xiii] On the posterior surface, lateral to the femoral head, there is a broad sulcus for attaching the ligament femoral capitalis, forming a broad concavity in proximal 87 view (Fig. 2B, E).

 

[xiv] Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a motion-related disorder of the hip joint in which abnormal contact between the acetabulum and the proximal femur can lead to hip pain and is associated with clinical and radiologic signs [1]. … In cases where nonsurgical management of FAIS fails, surgical intervention may be indicated to treat the abnormal bone morphology, either by arthroscopy or surgical hip dislocation (SHD), both of which have shown satisfactory short- and long-term outcomes [4-7].

The hip was dislocated in flexion–external rotation, and an inspection of the central compartment was performed to look for possible labral or articular cartilage lesions. The status of the acetabular and cephalic cartilage was also assessed. The hip was dislocated in flexion–external rotation, and an inspection of the central compartment was performed to look for possible labral or articular cartilage lesions. The status of the acetabular and cephalic cartilage was also assessed. … The round ligament was excised and then an osteochondroplasty of the head–neck junction was performed while respecting the retinacular vessels. The hip was thereafter reduced and its stability as well as correct mobility were verified (approximately 30° of internal rotation in flexion). 

 

[xv] Conclusions. An intact or torn ligamentum teres managed with debridement does not influence the postoperative PROMs in patients undergoing arthroscopic management for FAI.


[xvi] The monograph is dedicated to the oldest mention of LCF injury and the fate of the first patient with this pathology.

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?

  Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?  A Medical Hypothesis By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD & Lyudmila N. Arkhipova, BSN     CONTENT [i]   Abstract [ii]   Introduction [iii]   Egyptian physician [iv]   Asian diviner [v]   Conclusion [vi]   References [vii]   Application [i]   Abstract The Book of Genesis is an example of an ancient literary text that contains important medical insights. We propose that it was written in northern Egypt in the late 17th century BCE, approximately ten years after the Minoan eruption. The protograph likely emerged from the collaboration between an Asiatic seer, who rose to the rank of an Egyptian official, and an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist. By refining its dating and authorship, this hypothesis positions Genesis as a credible source of medical and historical data, thereby enhancing its value for interdisciplinary research.

1878MarshallJ

  Fragments from the book Marshall J. Anatomy for artists (1878). The author discusses the anatomy and briefly the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF): «… checks adduction of the thigh, or a sinking down of the pelvis upon the opposite side, and, possibly, also limits the reciprocal, horizontal rotatory movements of the femur and the pelvis on each other» .   Quote p. 65 The head of the femur is almost entirely received into the acetabulum, a deep socket of the hip-bone, thus forming the largest and most complete ball-and- socket joint in the body. At a point on the inner side of the head of the femur, a little below and also behind its centre, is a small rough, bifid , depression, for the attachment of the ligamentum teres of the hip-joint. Opposite this point, the head of the bone is, however, more prominent than elsewhere, and corresponds with a non- articular depressed portion of the acetabulum.   Quote p. 68 The ligamentum teres, which is attached by one en...
