Fragments from the book Heitzmann C. Anatomy: descriptive and topographical in 625 illustrations (1887). The author briefly describes the topography and blood supply of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also supplements the text with original illustrations.

The upper extremity of the femur consists of a head, Caput femoris,
which is connected to the shaft by means of a neck, and has a small depression,
Foveola, for the insertion of the Lag. teres. At the place where the neck is
continued into the shaft, are the two trochanters, the great external,
Trochanter major, and the lesser internal, Trochanter minor; these are
connected by the two intertrochanteric lines, the Linea intertrochanterica
anterior and posterior. At the internal surface of the great trochanter lies
the digital or trochanteric fossa, Fossa trochanterica (Fig. 166).
The Linea aspera femoris (Fig. 166) extends along the posterior surface
of the shaft; it presents two lips, Labia.
The lower extremity presents two condyles, Condyles externus and Condyles
interims, each of which has a tuberosity. The condyles are separated
posteriorly by the intercondyloid notch or Fossa poplitea (Fig. 166).
The femur articulates with three bones: the Os innominatum, tibia and
patella.

168. The Right Hip-Joint, Articulatio coxae, from before. |
The fibrous capsule of the hip-joint is attached above to the bony
margin of the acetabulum and below at the anterior surface of the femur, to the
Lima intertrochanterica anterior. The strong Ligamentum Bertini (ileo-femoral
ligament) serves to strengthen the anterior capsular wall; it is attached above
to the anterior inferior spine of the ilium, below partly to the anterior
intertrochanteric line (Fig. 154), and partly surrounds the neck of the femur
by two bands as Zona orbicularis Weberi (Fig. 156).*
* This is frequently designated the Y-ligament of Bigelow.

To the margin of the acetabulum a fibro-cartilaginous ring, Limbus cartilagineus acetabuli (cotyloid ligament), is attached; it bridges over the Incisura acetabuli. The round 1igament, Ligamentum teres, is attached by one extremity to the depression on the head of the femur, by the other to the margins of the notch of the acetabulum. The fibrous capsule of the hip-joint is shown in the figure cut open and folded backwards; it is seen that on the anterior surface the neck of the femur is entirely surrounded by the capsule.

| 170. The Right Hip- Joint, Articulatio coxae, in section. |
The fibrous capsule, at the anterior surface of the joint very strong, is at its posterior portion much weaker and not attached to the posterior intertrochanteric line, but to the posterior surface of the neck of the femur. The Ligamentum teres ascends vertically from the notch of the acetabulum to the depression on the head of the femur; it is surrounded by a sheath of a synovial membrane. The illustration also shows the peculiarly arranged bony structure of the neck and head of the femur.
Quote p. 225
The anterior branches of the internal iliac artery are:
a) The obturator, Art. obturatoria; it passes through the obturator canal in company with the obturator nerve and divides at the upper border of the M. obturatorius into an anterior or internal and a posterior or external branch. The internal ramifies in the MM. adductor femoris longus et brevis, pectineus and gracilis; the external sends the Art. acetabuli to the lig. teres of the hip-joint and finally distributes branches to the external rotator muscles.
