Fragments from the book Berengario da Carpi. Carpi Commentaria cum amplissimis additionibus super Anatomia Mundini (1521). The author comments on the treatise by Mondino de Luzzi (XIV cent.), describes the form and role of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The possibility of LCF damage is mentioned, as well as the consequences of this pathology - lameness and atrophy, as well as their pathogenesis. Berengario da Carpi uses rare synonyms to designate LCF: ligamentum uertebrū (vertebrum), ligamentum cordosum.

De anatomia cruris et pedis. Textus Mundini.
Et primum est os femoris, supra qd fabricati sunt sphonondyli dorsi, et
per consequens totum corpus, in parte inferiori habet pisidem quandam, in cuius
cocauitate locata est extremitas rotunda cannæ coxæ, quæ uertebrum uocatur, et
in medio amboru in parte iteriori est quod dam ligamentum quod potest uocari
uertebrū, et quá do hoc uel primum resilit foras tunc necesse est homine claudicare,
quia crus p hoc elongatur et firmari nó potest, nec corpus potest bene substetari,
et necesse est ut crus tabescat, quia uenæ quæ pertranseunt inferius propter
oppressionem, et obliquarionem quodammo do opilantur, licet non pfecte et
iunctura hæc. s. istorū ossiū uocatur scia, et inde dolor eius uocatur sciaticus.

…sed
os coxe haber in summitate sua superiori gibbo sa certum ligamentum cordosum:
qd alligatur pixidi seu concauitati anche: & ita in isto membro sunt duo
ligamenta. s. primum antedictum: aliud ligamentum ligat ossa per exterius:
& causa propter quid natura secit duo ligamenta in tali iunctura es ista.
s. magnus motus pedis cum magno podere.

Quote pp. 513-514.
Anatomy of the thigh and foot. Text Mundini.
And the first is the femur, on which the vertebrae of
the back are based, and therefore the whole body. In the lower part there is a
kind of hollow in which the round head of the femur is located, called a
vertebra. Between them, on the inner side, there is a ligament, which can be
called a vertebra [vertebral], and when this ligament is torn, then a person
begins to limp, because the leg is lengthened and cannot be fixed, and the body
cannot be properly supported, and the leg begins to atrophy, since the veins
that pass below are compressed and partially clogged. This joint is called the
sciatic, and pain in it is called sciatica.
Quote p. 516.

Comment XXXX. Carpi.
...but the femur has a tubercle in its upper part, to
which a certain cord-like ligament is attached: which connects with a socket or
depression in the pelvic bone: and thus, there are two ligaments in this joint.
The first already mentioned, and the other ligament connecting the bones from
the outside. The reason why nature has made two ligaments in such a joint is
this: a great range of motion of the leg with a great load.
