The author describes the prismatic shape of the ligamentum capitis
femoris (LCF) and the areas of its attachment. A summary of the Latin text is
available in the translation of the treatise made by the Royal College of
Surgeons in Ireland: «Round or Interarticular Ligament
is perfectly concealed in
the cavity of the
acetabulum ; it
is rather of a
triangular or prismatic
form, one edge
of it looks
upwards, another downwards, and
the third is
lost in the adipose
substance ; it
becomes rounder and
more contracted as it
approaches the depression
in the head
of the femur, into
which it is
inserted.» (see 1829,1833WeitbrechtJ).
The translation was done in collaboration with ChatGPT 3.5.

Ligamentum teres capitis femoris. Description. Fig. 56. §. 7. The
ligament, commonly called teres (f) (g), located within the acetabular
cavity, when stretched, resembles a prism with three sides bounded by three
angular lines. The first line (i) terminates at the upper angle, formed by
the brow of the hip joint and the internal transverse ligament (§. 3.); The
second terminates at the lower angle of the acetabulum, near the insertion
point of the same ligament; The third (k) disappears in the capsule of the
adipose gland (m). Thus, these lines define three sides. The first side (b)
lies between the first and second lines, connecting to the internal
transverse ligament, extending along it and naturally applying to the head of
the femur. The second side (g) between the first and third lines extends
within the mentioned glandular capsule and lies deep in the acetabular
cavity. The third side between the second and third lines corresponds to the
space between the end of the internal transverse ligament and the lower angle
of the cavity and, depending on the position of the femoral head, may press
against the acetabular cavity. The closer to the head, the more the ligament
acquires a rounded shape. Finally, at the deep pit, which serves as a kind of
seat on the spherical head, the ligament mass narrows and attaches obliquely
after entering the smooth depression, presumably, in this depression, the
ligament is held by some short fibers. f Ligament renfermé Winslwii, l. c.
