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.

  According to the author, the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is a tendon of the pectineus muscle, separated from it in consequence of skeletal modifications.   THE LIGAMENTUM TERES By J. B. SUTTON, Demonstrator of Anatomy, Middlesex Hospital. (PLATE VIII.) The round ligament of the coxo-femoral articulation has long been an anatomical puzzle, consequently many diverse notions exist concerning it. Some anatomists ascribe to this hollow band of fibrous tissue very important functions in the mechanism of the hip-joint; others deprive it of all glory, simply assigning to it the menial duty of conveying blood-vessels to the head of the femur. Certain authors content themselves with a brief description of its attachments; others give elaborate and detailed accounts, extending over several pages, of its anatomy and supposed function. My object in the present communication is to show that this singular ligament is nothing more than the tendon of the pectineus muscle, sepa...
