Tab. XVIII. Fig. LVI. 1 HOM. SCHWENCKE Haematologia, acc. obs. anatomic. de
acetabuli ligamento interno, caput femoris sirmante, c. tab. Hagae comit. 1743.
8vo. e femina duo et vigiuti annos nata hos ligamentum delineat.
§.
LXXXIIII.
This
ligament, which connects the head of the femur to the acetabulum, rests on the
floor of the acetabulum and resembles a prism.
The
surface of the inner side touching the head of the femur is attached to the
transverse internal ligament of the cartilaginous edge.
The
surface of the superior side touching the acetabulum begins from the superior
horn of the inferior edge of the semilunar surface of the acetabulum.
The
inferior side mostly arises from the fossa between both horns of the semilunar
surface of the acetabulum and touches the acetabulum only in certain directions
of movement of the femur.
The
slippery membrane with which it is covered forms folds that become longer
towards the fossa and contain joint lubrication and also have one or two tendon
fibers inside. (Ligament and fat mass, WEITBRECHT Fig. LVI. I.)
It
limits the movement of the femur in the upper and outer directions.
