Fragments from the book Fabricius JA. Bibliothecae Graecae volume duodecimum (1724). The author quotes the Byzantine physician Theophilus Protospatharius, who supposedly lived between the 7th and 10th centuries. Selected passages provide views on the normal anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its inherent connective function.

1) Dei erga
homines amor ex heminae fundo teretem nervum promisit, cartilaginosum vinculum
femoris capiti insertum adstringensque, ne facile elabatur:»
2) inde ex heminae oris aliae copulae oriuntur, totum femoris caput in orbem constringentes, non teretes & solae, qualis quae ex fundo porrigitur, sed latae, valenter que heminae oras ad commissurae praesidium ambientes.
Translation
[Eng]
1) For the sake of this, the benevolence and
disposition of God grew from the bottom of the acetabulum a round sinew (νεῦρον), a cartilaginous ligament (σύνδεσμον χονδρώδη), growing into the head of the hipbone and
holding it there to avoid dislocation. (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV).
2) From the
edge of the acetabulum begins the capsular ligament, which encircles the entire
head of the femur. It is not round and singular like the one that originates
from below, but rather wide, surrounding the acetabulum to protect the joint.
