[i] Summary

Abstract of the article Stetzelberger VM, Nishimura H, Hollenbeck JF, Garcia A, Brown JR, Schwab JM, Philippon JM, Tannast M (2024). The authors found low ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) strength in patients with femoroacetabular impingement. A Russian translation is available at this link: 2024StetzelbergerVM_TannastM.

Background: Intraarticular hip pain represents a substantial clinical challenge, with recent studies implicating lesions in the ligamentum teres as potential contributors. Even more so, damage to the ligamentum teres is particularly prevalent among young patients undergoing joint-preserving interventions. Although several studies have investigated the biomechanical attributes of the ligamentum teres, inconsistencies in reported findings and reliance on cadaveric or animal models have raised concerns regarding the extrapolation of results to clinical practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of research examining ligamentum teres biomechanics specifically within the relevant patient cohort-individuals who benefit from joint-preserving surgical interventions.

Questions/purposes: We sought (1) to determine the biomechanical properties (ultimate load to failure, tensile strength, stiffness, and elastic modulus) of fresh-frozen ligaments from patients undergoing surgical hip dislocation, and (2) to identify patient-specific factors that are associated with them.

Methods: This was an institutional review board-approved study on intraoperatively harvested ligamentum teres from 74 consecutive patients undergoing surgical hip dislocation for joint preservation (August 2021 to September 2022). After the exclusion of patients with previous surgery, posttraumatic deformities, avascular necrosis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, and Perthes disease, 31 ligaments from 31 patients were analyzed. The mean age of the study group was 27 ± 8 years, and 61% (19) of participants were male. The main indication for surgery was femoroacetabular impingement. Standardized AP pelvic and axial radiographs and CT scans were performed in all patients for better radiological description of the population and to identify associated radiological factors. The ligament was thoroughly transected at its origin on the fossa acetabuli and at the insertion area on the fovea capitis and stored at -20°C until utilization. Specimens were mounted to a materials testing machine via custom clamps that minimized slippage and the likelihood of failure at the clamp. Force-displacement and stress-strain curves were generated. Ultimate failure load (N), tensile strength (MPa), stiffness (N/mm), and elastic modulus (MPa) were determined. Using a multivariate regression analysis and a subgroup analysis, we tested demographic, degenerative, and radiographic factors as potential associated factors.

Results: The ligamentum teres demonstrated an ultimate load to failure of 126 ± 92 N, and the tensile strength was 1 ± 1 MPa. The ligaments exhibited a stiffness of 24 ± 15 N/mm and an elastic modulus of 7 ± 5 MPa. After controlling for potential confounding variables like age, fossa/fovea degeneration, and acetabular/femoral morphologies, we found that female sex was an independent factor for higher tensile strength, stiffness, and elastic modulus. Excessive femoral version was independently associated with lower load to failure (HR 122 [95% CI 47 to 197]) and stiffness (HR 15 [95% CI 2 to 27]). Damage to the acetabular fossa was associated with reduced load to failure (HR -93 [95% CI -159 to -27]).

Conclusion: Overall, the ligamentum teres is a relatively weak ligament. Sex, degeneration, and excessive femoral version are influencing factors on strength of the ligamentum teres. The ligamentum teres exhibits lower strength compared with other joint-stabilizing ligaments, which calls into question its overall contribution to hip stability.

Clinical relevance: Young patients undergoing hip-preserving surgery are the population at risk for ligamentum teres lesions. Baseline values for load to failure, tensile strength, elastic modulus, and stiffness are needed to better understand those lesions in this cohort of interest.

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.

[ii]   Introduction One of the first studies devoted to the diagnosis of LCF injury demonstrated a variety of symptoms: groin pain, hip stiffness, sometimes long-standing minimal clinical findings, or signs similar to osteoarthritis (1997GrayA_VillarRN). More than a decade later, researchers concluded: "Unfortunately, there is no specific test for detecting LCF tears." The signs known at that time were nonspecific and were also observed in other intra-articular pathologies of the hip joint (2010CerezalL_Pérez-CarroL). The a...

1884SuttonJB

  Fragments from the article Sutton JB. Ligaments: Their Nature and Morphology (1884). The author discovered that in the ostrich the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) was not continuous with the ambiens muscle, but with a muscular slip which ran parallel with the-muscle, and ended in the adductor mass. This publication develops the theme of article 1883SuttonJB .   Quote pp. 228-229 I must now pass on to consider certain ligaments of the appendicular skeleton, commencing with some additional remarks on the ligamentum teres. The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, vol. xvii January 1883, contains a short article on the ligamentum teres, in which I have endeavoured to point out that many ligaments are the tender of muscles which were originally in relation with the joint; but the parent muscle has either formed new attachments or become obsolete, whilst the tendon remains as a passive element in the articulation. In addition to the ligamentum teres the following structures ...

  Ancient Textual Sources on Ligamentum Teres: Context and Transmission S.V. Arkhipov, I.V. Prolygina   KEYWORDS: ancient medicine; ancient traumatology; Galen; Hippocrates; hip joint; ligamentum capitis femoris; ligament of head of femur; ligamentum teres. SUMMARY Background. One of the least researched anatomical structures of the human body is the ligament of head of femur, most often referred to as ligamentum teres. The history of the nomination of this term, medical contexts of its use, the etymology and the first synonyms (Figure 1) are not sufficiently understood. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the most complete collection of evidence from ancient medical authors about the term ligamentum teres, trace the history of its nomination and analyze the gradual changes in the level of knowledge about the anatomy, mechanical and geometric properties of this structure, its pathology and treatment methods. Methods. The study is based on an inter...
