depending on the combination of factors leading to the pathology of ligamentum
capitis femoris (LCF)
VARIANTS
OF LCF PATHOLOGY
1. Simple
2. Combined
We
subdivide the phases of LCF pathology depending on the time elapsed after
exposure.
PHASES
OF LCF PATHOLOGY
1. Acute
2. Subacute
3. Chronic
4.
Permanent
5. Old
Acute LCF
pathology develops rapidly, sometimes instantaneously, as in the case of
trauma. Chronic LCF pathology refers to a gradually progressing process that
has started and persisted for a long time. The term subacute phase in LCF
pathology is used when the process progresses and resolves within three weeks
to four months. Permanent LCF pathology implies continuous periodic impact
leading to pathological changes. An example of permanent pathology is walking
with altered physical properties of the densely formed connective tissue
comprising the LCF stroma. Old LCF pathology denotes a pathological change that
occurred long ago without subsequent progression or regression.
