[i] Annotation

Fragments from the book: Rauber A. Lehrbuch der Anatomie des Menschen. Erster Band. (1897). The author discusses the anatomy and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), suggesting that it stimulates the production of synovial fluid. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1897RauberA.


Quote pp. 367-368.

b. Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae. Fig. 393-396.

Rings um den Rand der Hüftpfanne legt sich ein dicker fibröser Ring, eine Pfannenlippe, Labrum glenoidale, welche die Tiefe der Pfanne zu einer mehr als halbkugeligen Höhlung ergänzt und die Incisura acetabuli überbrückt. Dieser überbrückende Teil heisst Lig. transversum acetabuli. Durch die so entstandene Lücke drängt sich ein Fettpolster in die Fossa acetabuli ein; aber auch ein Band entspringt in der Fossa acetabuli, ein platter bindegewebiger Strang, Lig. teres femoris, dessen anderes Ende in der Fovea capitis femoris befestigt ist. Die starke Capsula articularis entspringt aussen an derBasis der Pfannenlippe, etwa 5-7 mm von deren freiem Rande entfernt. AmOberschenkel erstreckt es sich vorn bis zur Linea intertrochanterica herab, während es hinten am Schenkelhalse inseriert , lange bevor die Crista intertrochanterica erreicht ist.

 

Quote p. 277.

Das Schenkelbein, Femur. Fig. 273 und 274.

Am Schenkelbeine, dem grössten Knochen des Körpers , unterscheidet man, wie an anderen Röhrenknochen, zwei Endstücke und ein Mittelstück, Schaft oder Körper.

Das obere Endstück, Extremitas capitata, zeigt den Kopf und den Hals. Der kugelige Kopf, Caput femoris, besitzt eine Gelenkfläche, welche etwa 2/3 eines Sphäroides umfasst, das oben etwas abgeplattet ist. Unter der Mitte der Gelenkfläche liegt eine rundliche Vertiefung, Fovea capitis, in welcher das Ligamentum teres femoris sich ansetzt. Die seitliche Stellung des Gelenkkopfes ist am Schenkelbeine entschiedener ausgeprägt, als am Humerus, indem ein sehr langer Hals, Collum femoris, die Anfügung des Kopfes an den Schaft vermittelt.

 

Quote p. 380.

Über die Bedeutung des Lig. teres femoris liegen zahlreiche Untersuchungen vor. Es ergiebt sich, dass es während der Wachstumsperiode Blutgefässträger zum Schenkelkopfe ist. später aber wesentlich als Hemmungsband und Umtreibungsmittel der Synovia wirkt.

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...

1916WalmsleyT

    Article by Walmsley T. A note on the retinacula of Weitbrecht (1916). The author discusses the embryonic development and relationships of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in humans and animals.     A NOTE ON THE RETINACULA OF WEITBRECHT. By THOMAS WALMSLEY, M.B., Senior Demonstrator in Anatomy, University  of Glasgow.   The synovial membrane of the hip-joint is in extent and attachment similar to that of other diarthroses, but the retinacula of Weitbrecht (or ligaments of Stanley) lend to it a special interest. These retinacula are readily recognized on the interior of the capsule as flattened bands passing inwards towards the margin of the head of the femur from the attachment of the peripheral capsule. The following description of their constitution may be selected as expressive of current opinion. The retinacula are arranged in three groups, superior, middle, and inferior: structurally, they are synovial covered capsular reflections: morphologic...

1857RichetA

  Fragments of the book Richet A. Traité pratique d' Anatomie medico-chirurgicale (1857) are devoted to the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author believes that the vessels passing through the LCF are sufficient to supply blood to the femoral head. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet.   Quote pp. 922-923 Articulation coxo-femorale. Cette articulation, qui appartient à la classe des énarthroses dont elle représente le type, a été l'objet de travaux importants de la part des physiologistes et des chirurgiens, et c'est aux frères Weber et à M. Malgaigne, plutôt qu'aux anatomistes purs, qu'on doit d'avoir mis en lumière un grand nombre des faits qui vont suivre et qui éclairent des questions pathologiques avant eux restées insol...

1865RoseE

The author describes his own experiments on the hip joint and mentions the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Edmund Rose noted that the LCF allowed the femoral head to be removed from the acetabulum more than 1½ inches (38.1 mm). The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. In some cases, we have added links to quotations about LCF available on our resource, as well as to publications posted on the Internet.   Die Mechanik des Hüftgelenkes. Von Dr. EDMUND ROSE, Docent der Chirurgie in Berlin.
