  The article mentions the possibility of damage to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) due to sudden twisting of the hip joint. According to the author, the appearance of pain in the hip (usually with a click or pop) strongly suggests a rupture. The diagnostic rotation test, in which the pelvis rotates around the supporting leg of a vertically standing subject, is also based on provoking impingement of the LCF or a scar in its place. «The ligament is tensioned in flexion, adduction and outer rotation of the hip joint. There is a particularly high incidence of ruptures of this ligament in sports where strong rotational movements of the hips are needed.» Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, injury, mechanism, hip joint, arthroscopy, anatomy, sport Original Article Lampert C.

  Ligamentum capitis femoris: first written mentions  S.V. Arkhipov,  D.V. Skvortsov SUMMARY   Background. A ligamentum capitis femoris (syn. ligamentum teres) is one of the least studied anatomical structures. We know little about its role in the musculoskeletal system, and even less about its first written mentions. Purpose. This article is intended to clarify who and when first described the connection of the head of the femur in the medical literature, and to provide a hypothesis about its first mention in the history of mankind. Material and methods. We reviewed the oldest written sources available to us, covering the anatomy of the hip joint and ligamentum capitis femoris. Conclusion. The first description of the ligamentum capitis femoris in the medical text is given by Hippocrates of Kos in the treatise Instruments of Reductions (V-IV century BC). According to our hypothesis, the first in the history of mankind to mention a ligamentum capitis femoris, is cont...
