Ligament-fovea Capitis Posted: 10-23-05 20:30pm


Hi, i was wondering if anyone knows how this ligament is re-attached when the head of the femur has been replaced. It attaches to a spot, called the fovea capitis on the head of the femur. So, if the head is repalced with a ceramic ball or metal, how do they attach that ligament? Thanks duncan

Thanks duncan

that's a good question duncan. A question that I don't have an answer to. Hopefully someone with the knowledge about this topic will respond so that we both will know. This is a pretty good health forum, but alot of times there's not many people who respond. And that's a shame.
