Quote pp. 119-123 

Am oberen Ende des Oberschenkelbeines fällt der an einem Halse sitzende Kopf, Caput femoris in die Augen, mit einem Grübchen, Foveola, zur Anheftung des Lig. teres. An der Uebergangsstelle des Halses in das Mittelstück stehen die beiden Rollhügel, der grosse äussere, Trochanter major, und der kleine innere, Trochanter minor; dieselben sind durch die Linea intertrochanterica anterior und posterior vereinigt. Nach innen vom grossen Trochanter liegt die Fossa trochanterica (Fig. 166). An der hinteren Fläche des Mittelstückes springt die in 2 Lefzen (Labia) gespaltene Linea aspera femoris vor (F. 166).

Das untere Ende ist mit 2 Knorren, Condylus externus und Condylus internus, versehen, deren jeder eine Tuberosität besitzt. Die Knorren sind an der hinteren Seite durch die Fossa poplitea von einander getrennt. (Fig. 166).

Das Oberschenkelbein ist mit 3 Knochen gelenkig verbunden: mit dem Hüftbeine, dem Schienbeine, und der Kniescheibe

166. Das rechte Oberschenkelbein, Os femoris, von hinten [fragment, left].
167. Das rechte Oberschenkelbein, Os femoris,von hinten, mit den Muskelansätzen [fragment, right].


168. Das rechte Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae, von vorne.

Die fibröse Kapsel des Hüftgelenkes inserirt am Umfange des knöchernen Pfannenrandes einerseits, und an der Vorderseite des Oberschenkelknochens an der Linea intertrochanterica anterior andererseits. Als Verstärkung der vorderen Kapselwand dient das kräftige, von der Spina anterior inferior des Darmbeines entspringende Ligamentum Bertini, welches zum Theile zur Linea intertrochanterica anterior herabsteigt (Fig 154), zum Theile mit 2 Schenkeln den Oberschenkelhals als Zona orbicularis Weberi umschlingt (Fig. 156).

169. Das rechte Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae, eröffnet.

Am knöchernen Umfange der Pfanne haftet ringsum ein faserknorpeliger Ring, Limbus cartilagineus acetabuli; an der Stelle der Incisura acetabuli bildet dieser Ring eine Brücke. Von der Foveola des Oberschenkelkopfes zieht zur nicht überknorpelten Fovea acetabuli das runde Band, Ligamentum teres. Die fibröse Kapsel des Hüftgelenkes ist in der Figur aufgeschnitten und zurückgelegt dargestellt; es wird ersichtlich, dass an der vorderen Seite der Schenkelhals vollständig von der Kapsel eingehüllt ist.

170. Das rechte Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae, im Durchschnitte.

Die fibröse Kapsel, an der vorderen Seite des Gelenkes sehr stark, ist am hinteren Umfange desselben weit schwächer, und haftet nicht an der Linea intertrochanterica posterior, sondern indem sie sich umbiegt, an der hinteren Fläche des Schenkelhalses. Das Ligamentum teres steigt von der Incisura acetabuli zur Foveola des Oberschenkelkopfes senkrecht hinauf; dasselbe ist von der Synovialkapsel eingehüllt. Die Abbildung zeigt auch die eigenthümlich angeordnete Knochenstructur des Oberschenkelhalses und des Kopfes.

Quote p. 215

Die vorderen Aeste der 4. hypogastrica sind:

a) Die A. obturatoria geht in Begleitung des N. obturatorius durch den Canalis obturatorius, und zerfällt am oberen Rande des M. obturatorius in einen Ramus anterior und einen posterior. Der erstere verästelt sich im M. adductor femoris longus et brevis, pectineus und gracilis; der letztere sendet die A. acetabuli zum Lig. teres des Oberschenkelkopfes und löst sich schliesslich in den Auswärtsrollern auf.

1914JonesFW_MorrisH

  We are publishing a chapter from the fifth edition of «Morris's Human Anatomy» (1914). A significant portion of it is dedicated to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The original text has been edited by Wood Jones. Particularly notable are the illustrations depicting the LCF. Some of them are improved drawings by the first author ( 1879MorrisH ).   Quote pp. 276-284 1. THE HIP-JOINT Class. — Diarthrosis. Subdivision. — Enarthrodia. The hip is the most typical example of a ball-and-socket joint in the body, the round head of the femur being received into the cup-shaped cavity of the acetabulum. Both articular surfaces are coated with cartilage, that covering the head of the femur being thicker above where it has to bear the weight of the body, and thinning out to a mere edge below; the pit for the ligamentum teres is the only part uncoated, but the cartilage is somewhat heaped up around its margin. Covering the acetabulum, the cartilage is horseshoe-shaped, a...

The selected passages of the "classical" anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and original illustrations of Henry Carter.   Quote p. 8 1 The cotyloid cavity or acetabulum, is a deep cup-shaped hemispherical depression; formed internally by the pubes, above by the ilium, behind and below by the ischium, a little less than two-fifths being formed by the ilium, a little more than two-fifths by the ischium, and the remaining fifth by the pubes. It is bounded by a prominent uneven rim, which is thick and strong above, and serves for the attachment of a fibro-cartilaginous structure, which contracts its orifice and deepens the surface for articulation. It presents on its inner side a deep notch, the cotyloid notch, which transmits the nutrient vessels into the interior of the joint, and is continuous with a deep circular depression at the bottom of the cavity: this depression...
