Quote p. 246

Endlich hat das corpus ischii drei incisuras, die eine befindet sich über der Mitte des foraminis ovalis, und ist der untere fehlende Teil von der circumferenz des acetabuli, diese incisur wird durch das ligamentum transvesale zugeschlossen, unter welchera das ligamentum teres zu dem capite des ossis femoris fortgehet.

Quote pp. 255-256.

Fundus acetabuli, es ist der rauhe Ort, der sich ganz in der Tiese des acetabuli befindet, es fangt der fundus acetabuli da an zu entstehen, wo das acetabulum inwendig mit dem Knorpel überzogen zu werden audshört. Der fundus acetabuli, in welchem sich der ganze Klumpe von Gelenkdrusen leget, ist weit tiefer als die cavitas articularis und das caput des ossis femoris, welches durch das ligamentum teres gegen den fundum festgehalten wird, berüret nicht diesen fundum, damit die Gelenkdrüsen zum grössesten Nuzzen des ossis femoris in ihrem Absonderungsgeschäste nicht gestöret warden.
