Fragments from the book Haller A. Icones anatomicae quibus praecipuae aliquae partes corporis humani (1756). The author describes the sources of blood supply to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).

TAB. I. Femur dextrum anterius, magis tamen ad interiora visum, quod
interiorem femoris partem majores rami arteriosi adeant.
p. 13
Truncus vero articularis circumducitur circa caput femoris, data cum
obturatoria anastomosi, & per intervallum supercilii acetabuli (T. ant. corp.
sin.) hujus caveam subit, & ad glandulam Haversii, quae spatium non
cartilagineum explet, cartilagines ipsas, & ligamentum teres dividitur.

TABULA I. EXPLICATIO LITERARUM.
p. 32
Eorum exterior descendit, tectus obturatore externo, inter eum &
internum, secundum caput femoris & externam foraminis oram, dat utrique
horum musculorum ramos, dat unum duosque ad capsulam femoris articularem, quorum
alteruter saepe articulationis cavitatem subit, & dat glandulae Haversii, ligamento
tereti, periostiis, & capsulae articulari prospicit. Septies certe &
ultra eum ramum ab obturatoria arteria prodiisse vidi, (T. V. a.) etsi frequentius
utique ab arteriae circumflexae internae ramo prodeat. Tunc autem obturatoria
unice dat capsulae, & cum eo ipso circumflexae ramo communicat.

Quote 1.
Table I. Right thigh in front, larger on the inside, since
larger arterial branches approach the inside of the thigh.
p. 13.
The articular trunk goes around the head of the femur,
anastomosing with the obturator artery, and through the gap in the upper part
of the acetabulum (T. ant. corp. sin.) enters its cavity, penetrates the
Haversian gland, which fills the non-cartilaginous space, cartilage and ligamentum teres [round ligament].
Quote 2.
[Eng]
TABLE I. EXPLANATION OF LETTERS.
p. 32.
Its outer part descends, covered by the external obturator muscle, between it and the internal one, along the head of the femur and the outer edge of the foramen, giving branches to each of these muscles, as well as one or two branches to the joint capsule of the femur, one of which often penetrates the joint cavity, supplying the Haversian gland, the ligamento tereti [rounded ligament], the periosteum, and the joint capsule. Seven times or more I have seen this branch arising from the obturator artery, (T. V. a.), although it more often arises from the branch of the internal circumflex artery. In this case, the obturator artery exclusively supplies the capsule and communicates with the branch of the circumflex artery itself.
