[Lat]
Appendices habet superius inferiusque insignes, processibus suisjunctas.
Supcrior appendix cum adjuncto processus, amplum, globosumque femoris caput constituit,
valida cervice subnixum, quod intra cavitatem ossis ischii, ilium, & pubis concursi
productam, (acetabulum alias, pyxidemque) reconditur. Detinctur in hoc sinu robustis
ligamentis: lato uno, & membranoso, quod articulum totum circumdat, tum rotundo
altero, & tereti, quod ab ipsa cavitate productum, statim in caput susceptum
demittitur.
Translation
[Eng]
Above and below, there are remarkable appendages
connected with processes. The upper appendage together with the process
attached to it forms a large and round head of the femur, supported by a strong
neck, which is placed inside the cavity formed by the fusion of bones: ischium,
ilium and pubis (otherwise called the acetabulum or cup). It is held in this
cavity by strong ligaments: one wide and membranous, which surrounds the entire
joint, and the other round and rounded, which begins directly in the cavity
itself and is immediately attached to the head.
