Quote p. 367

La tête du fémur est tournée en haut, en dedans et un peu en avant; de manière que la plus grande partie de sa convexité est en haut et la plus petite en bas. Cette convexité se prolonge un peu plus en avant qu’en arrière, et forme plus de la moitié d’une sphère. Sa surface est lisse, excepté à la partie moyenne inférieure où se trouve un enfoncement dans lequel s’attache le ligament interne de l’articulation. La tête du fémur est reçue dans la cavité cotyloïde de l’os innominé.


Quote p. 374

La tête du Fémur est recouverte, dans l’état frais, par un cartilage articulaire, dont la circonférence est moins épaisse que la partie moyerine. Ce cartilage est interrompu à la partie moyenne et inférieure, par un enfoncement qui donne attache au ligament interne. La tête du fémur est reçue dans la cavité cotyloïde.


Quote pp. 378-379

Le ligament intérieur a été appelé ligament rond, quoiqu’il n’ait rien moins que la forme ronde. Il s’étend des extrémités de l’échancrure de la cavité cotyloïde, à l’enfoncement de la tête du fémur. Il est aplati et triangulaire. Une de ses faces est interne et supérieure elle est contiguë au paquet celluleux qui remplit la portion raboteuse de la cavité cotyloïde. L’autre est externe et inférieure; elle est contiguë à la tête du femur. La base de ce ligament est attachée aux extrémités de l’éclianicrnre cotyloïdienne, et au bord postérieur du ligament qui convertit cette échancrure en trou: delà, il monte obliquement en arriéré et va s’attacher, par son sommet, à la partie supérieure de l’enfoncement creusé sur la tete du fémur. Ce ligament est compose de deux bandes plates de fibres, dont l’une supérieure, plus petite, naît de l’extrémité supérieure de l’echancrure cotyloïdienne; l’autre, plus grande, naît de son extrémité infériure. Ces deux bandes se rapprochent et se confondent vers la tête du femur: leurs bords voisins sont unis par une lame fibreuse plus mince. Cet appareil fibreux est renfermé dans une espèce de gaîne membraneuse, qui naît de la circonférence de l’enfoncement raboteux de la cavité cotyloïde et du bord postérieur du ligament qui couvre l’échancrure cotyloïdienne. Cette gaîne recouvre le paquet celluleux prétendu synovial, qui remplit l’enfoncement, lui adhère fortement, entoure le ligament auquel elle est intimement unie, et finit enfin à la circonférence de l’enfoncementde la tete du fémur, en se continuant avec le cartilage articulaire. Cette membrane est souvent soulevée, près la tête du femur, par un petit flocon celluleux, semblable à ceux qu’on regarde comme des glandes synoviales. Le ligament interne est propre à empêcher que le fémur ne sorte de la cavité cotyloïde eu haut et en dehors.

  Fragments from the book Reeves HA. Human Morphology: A Treatise on Practical and Applied Anatomy. Vol. 1. (1882). The author describes the anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its role.   Quote pp. 451 - 452 By arrangement with the dissector of the abdomen, who will be interested in the observation, the student should carefully trephine or chisel out a small piece from the roof of the acetabulum in order to observe what has already been stated with regard to the capsule, and also to note how the ligamentum teres is affected with regard to its tension or laxity in the various movements of the joint. He may also try to inject into the joint some warm tallow so as to note if there be any hernial protrusions or projections of the synovial membrane between the layers of the capsule, or whether the synovial membrane of the joint communicates with any of the neighbouring bursæ, more especially with the psoas bursa.
