Quote pp. 294-295

Vol. 1. The Nature of Bones

2. The femur itself is curved outward and forward. Its head is a rounded process from which a tendon extends, located in the acetabulum of the pelvic bone. It attaches here slightly diagonally, but less diagonally than the humerus. The pelvic bone itself is firmly attached around its entire circumference to a large vertebra located on the sacrum, via a cartilaginous and tendinous ligament.
