Fragment from the book Bauhin C. Theatrum anatomicum (1605). The author writes about the attachment, function, possible elongation and damage of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Lameness after dislocation is mentioned and its cause is explained. In the margins of the page are references to the works of other authors Vesalius, Laurens, Archang (Archangelo Piccolomini ???).

Liber IV. DE LIGAMENTIS OSSIS ILII & sacri et que in toto pede
habentur. CAP. XXXIX.
Femur, coxendicis articulo duplici ligamento nectitur; altero communi membrane,
articulum orbiculatim ambit, quod Græci [ischos], totius articuli nomine
vocarunt; quod cætera, articulos ambientia crassitie, duritie, & robore su
perat, cum articulus hic corpus totum sustinere & motus validos perferre
debuerit. Hoc articulo & femoris ceruici accumbit & solum radici magni
processus orbiculatim adnascitur, quo motus capitis ipsius femoris non
impediantur. Alterum ipsius ligamentum teres est [L] & ob duritiem neruus
cartilagineus censeri potest; hoc in acetabulo coxendicis situ, ex eius profundo
seu humiliori sede, vbi adeps sinui oblinitur; quò femoris caput facilius
moueatur & acetabuli supercilium cessat ortum ducit & superius in
femoris caput medium inferitur, idq; ne femoris caput è sinu sua facilè excidat,
siriniorque sit articulatio, siquidem femur graue & veluti à coxendice
pendulu sit; quare dum hoc laxatur & prolixius sit sæpè numero luxationem
causat & aliquando disrumpitur & quamuis os restituatur, luxatus tamen semper
claudicat, cum non vt prius rectè cohæreant.

Book IV. Of the Ligaments of the Iliacus and Sacrorum,
and of Those in the Whole Leg. Chapter XXXIX.
The thigh is connected at the pelvic joint by two
ligaments: one common membrane-like ligament surrounds the joint in a ring,
which the Greeks call [ischios], and this name is used for the whole joint; it
surpasses the other surrounding joints in thickness, hardness, and strength,
since this joint must support the whole body and bear strong movements. This
ligament is attached to the neck of the femur and also to the base of the
greater protuberance, so that the movements of the head of the femur itself are
not restricted. The other ligament is round [L], and on account of its hardness
may be considered a cartilaginous nerve; It is situated in the acetabulum of
the pelvis, in its deep or lower part, where fat covers the socket, so that the
head of the femur moves more easily, and takes its origin at the edge of the
acetabulum, and is then inserted into the middle of the head of the femur, so
that the head of the femur does not easily fall out of the acetabulum, and the
joint is more stable, since the femur is heavy and is, as it were, suspended
from the pelvic bone; therefore, when this ligament is weakened and lengthened,
it often causes dislocations, and sometimes it is torn, and although the bone
returns to its place, the dislocated leg always limps, since it no longer
connects correctly as before.
