Fragments from the book Vesalius A. Humani corporis fabrica Libri septem (1555). The author describes the anatomy, attachment, properties and role of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also interprets its synonyms. The translation into English was made from the Russian edition (1950ВезалийА). Our brief commentary is available at the link: 1555VesaliusA [Rus].

Quote 3. p. 430.
Liber II. De ligamentis, ilivm ossa sacro colligantibus, et coxendicis
ac genu articulum, deq; religuin omnibus quae in tibia et pede habentur
ligamentis. Caput LXI.
Porro aliud coxendicis articulo peculiare ligamentum, teres est, &
adeo durum, ut cartilagineus neruus merito ab alijs appellatus fuerit. Hoc ex
medio capitis femoris enatum, non in acetabuli centrum inseritur, at in
humilimam ipsius sedem, ubi adeps, non autem cartilago, sinui oblinitur, ipsumq; coxendicis ossis acetabuli
supercilium deficit.
Quote 4. p. 435.
Liber II. Mvscvlorum in tibia et pede sedem obtinentum, & ligamentorum
omnium quae hactenus non resecta sunt, administrandi ratio. Caput LXII.
Mox ad coxendicis articulum accedens, orbiculatim ipsum ambiens,
ligamentum acutiori cultello transuersim diuidito, eiusq; crassitiem & ortum
& insertionem inspicito. Si modo femur in exteriora modice duxeris, ex
acetabulo ipsius caput elabetur, & teres ligamentum se spectandum exhibebit:
quo transuersim dissecto, acetabulum accurate obseruandum uenit, propter iam commemorate
ligament insertionem, & id ligamentum, quod sinum au gere diximus.

Quote 1. 254.
Book 1. Chapter 1. What is a ligament. The purpose of
ligaments and their differences
O - Round ligament, connecting the femur to the pelvic
bone.
Quote 2. 393.
Book 2. Chapter 49. On the muscles belonging to the
male genital organ.
P 2 - The round ligament, attached to the pelvic bone
and to the round head of the femur.
Quote 3. 430.
Book 2. Chapter 61. On the ligaments that connect the
ilium with the sacrum, on the ligaments of the pelvic and knee joints, and on
all the other ligaments that are in the tibia and in the foot.
Next, another ligament, belonging to the pelvic joint,
is rounded and so rigid that it has been called by others, not without reason,
the cartilaginous tendinous. Arising from the middle of the head of the femur,
it is attached not to the center of the socket, but to its lowest part, where
not cartilage but fat lines the sinus and hides the edges of the acetabulum;
where the bony edge of the acetabulum is absent.
Quote 4. 435.
Book 2. Chapter 62. The order of opening the muscles
that are near the tibia and in the foot, and all the ligaments that have not
been resected up to now.
Then, approaching the pelvic joint, you will divide
with a sharp knife the ligament that encircles it transversely, and examine its
thickness, origin, and attachment. If you now slightly draw the thigh outward,
its head will slip out of the socket, and the observer will see a round
ligament, which, having been cut transversely, can be carefully examined for
the attachment of the ligament just mentioned and the one that, as we said,
enlarges the sinus.
