[i] Annotaction

Fragment of the article: Macalister A. On the anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) (1864). The author observed ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in an ostrich. Its strength is noted, and its shape is described. Translation into Russian is available at the link: 1864MacalisterA


Quote, p. 22

The articulations of the lower extremity present many points of mechanical importance. The first, or the hip, is an enarthrosis, surrounded by a capsule, loose, expanding inferiorly; the synovial membrane spreads over the great trochanter; a strong transverse band passes from the border of the lesser sciatic notch to the upper and posterior edge of the acetabulum, under which the articular vessels pass to the joint. An extremely strong ligamentum teres passes downwards, outwards, and forwards, from the lower border of the cotyloid cavity, and  is inserted into the upper part of a depression on the head of the femur,  near which it is cylindrical; at its, origin it is flattish and expanded;  a cotyloid ligament protects the superior and anterior edge of the joint;  thick and cartilaginous above, thin and membranous below and in  front The bottom of the cavity is separated from the air cells by a  membrane consisting of fibres running downwards and forwards, and  some radiating.


Quote, p. 22

Die Gelenke der unteren Extremität weisen viele mechanisch wichtige Punkte auf. Die Hüfte ist eine Enarthrose, umgeben von einer lockeren, sich nach unten ausdehnenden Kapsel; die Synovialmembran breitet sich über den großen Rollhügel aus; ein starkes Querband verläuft vom Rand der kleinen Ischiaskerbe zum oberen und hinteren Rand der Hüftpfanne, unter der die Gelenkgefäße zum Gelenk verlaufen. Ein extrem starkes Ligamentum teres verläuft vom unteren Rand der Hüftpfanne nach unten, außen und vorne und setzt im oberen Teil einer Vertiefung am Oberschenkelkopf an, in dessen Nähe es zylindrisch ist; an seinem Ursprung ist es flach und ausgedehnt; ein Ligamentum cotyloideum schützt den oberen und vorderen Rand des Gelenks; oben dick und knorpelig, unten und vorne dünn und häutig. Der Boden der Pfanne ist von den Luftzellen durch eine Membran getrennt, die aus nach unten und vorne verlaufenden und teilweise strahlenförmigen Fasern besteht.
