Fragments from the book Böhmer PA. Institutiones osteologicae in usum praelectionum academicarum cum iconibus anatomicus (1751). The author describes the topography, mechanical properties and role of the роль ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). This work has been repeatedly cited in publications by other medical writers: 1803SchregerCHT, 1880HyrtlJ. The translation was done in collaboration with ChatGPT (version 3.5) and the Google Translate service.

§. CCCCLXXX. Acetabularum structura, et vsus, Sunt autem amplissima cauatam mirifice coxis adposita, vt iisdem coxae
cum toto trunco diuersimode super femora moueri et inclinari possint. Quaelibet
sinuositas caput femoris profundius excipiens proprie acetabulum, Gr. κοτύλῃ vocatur (§. LXXVI.), ex concursu
trium ossium componitur (§. CCCCLXXVII.), et crusta cartilaginea obducitur ac
augetur (§. CCCCLXVIII); defectus vero in imperfecta ipsius ora ab opposita
cartilagine suppletur, et per incisuram (§. CCCCLXXXI.) vasa, a compressione
libera, tutissime admittuntur. Totus denique sinus validissimo, ex supercilio
eius inaequali pro deunte ligamento, firmissime cum capite ossis femoris unitur. |
§. 480. The structure of the acetabulum and its appearance, However, there are very large cavities wonderfully placed near the
hips to allow them to move and bend in various ways relative to the entire
torso. Each depression in which the head of the femur is deeply embedded is
called the acetabulum proper, in Greek κοτύλῃ (§. 76), consists of a
connection of three bones (§. 477), is covered with a cartilaginous layer and
expanded (§. 468); but there is a defect, which at the edge is filled with
the opposite cartilage, and through the incision (§. 481) the vessels, free
from compression, are safely passed. In the end, the entire sinus is very
strong, thanks to the uneven edge, with the missing ligament, it is firmly
connected to the head of the femur. |

§. CCCCLXXXI. corumque sminor in ima parte cauitas. Quum vero anterius et lateraliter ex parte dehifcat, supercilium
illius imperfectum et inaequale fit, immo sinuositas, quae in medio et versus
ilia latescit, ad hiatum rursus angustatur. Cauitas minor, quam in ima parte
continet, simili gaudet margine imperfecto et inaequali, ac aspera superficie,
eaque non solum ligamentum teres siue planum recipit, verum etiam glandulae mucilaginosae
tutissimum concedit locum, efficitque, ne tota sub motu comprimatur. |
§. 481. smaller cavity at the bottom. Where the rupture occurs anteriorly and laterally, its [acetabulum]
edge becomes incomplete and uneven, and the notch, which extends from the
middle outward, narrows again to a fissure. The smaller cavity which it [the
acetabulum] contains in the lower part, also has the same interrupted and
uneven edge and a rough surface, which not only receives the round or flat
ligament, but also provides the safest place for the mucous glands,
preventing them from being completely compressed when movements. |

§. DLXXXVIII. eiusque inaequalis fossa qua ligamentum teres educitur In medio profundam et inaequalem fossam habet, ex qua ligamentum firmissimum,
crassum, et elasticum educitur, quod propriae acetabuli crenae inseritur (§. CCCCLXXXI),
et, vi officii, suspensorium dici meretur. |
§. 588. and its irregular fossa, through which the round ligament passes. In the middle there is a deep and uneven fossa, from which emerges a
very firm, thick and elastic ligament, which is attached to its own notch of
the acetabulum (§. 481), and by its function deserves to be called
suspensory. |

§. DXC. Connexio capitis femoris cum acetabulo. In commissura capitis cum collo femoris, et circulo praecipue circa basin
ceruicis aspero, ligamentum vasis refertissimum, robustum, validumque capsulare,
quod caput ossis femoris cum acetabulo iungit (§. CCCCLXXX), firmatur. Quo
vero liberius in centro acetabuli versari, et absque vasorum, illud
ingredientium (§. CCCCLXXXI.) compressione, ex glanduloso-pinguedinosis
organis mucus capsam inter et caput femoris exprimi, nec, relaxato forsan
articulari vinculo, os prorsus ex articulatione elabi possit; natura suspensorio
prospexit ligamento (§. DLXXXVIII).

§. 590. Connection
of the head of the femur with the acetabulum. At the junction of the head with the neck of the femur and especially
around the base of the neck, there is a very dense, strong and powerful
capsular ligament that connects the head of the femur with the acetabulum (§.
480) and secures it. It allows the head of the femur to move freely inside
the acetabulum and without compressing the vessels entering it (§. 481),
under pressure the mucus from the glandular-fatty organs is squeezed out
between the acetabulum and the head of the femur, and, even if the articular
ligament [capsule] weakened, the bone cannot slide completely out of the
joint; is because nature has focused on the suspensory ligament (§. 588). |
