LXV.
Superius rotundum, globosumque
Caput, oblongæ & robustæ Cervici, quæ universam corporis molem sustinere
debet, imponitur; quod cartilagine obductum intra cavitatem, ossis ilium, ischii,
& pubis concursu productam, quæ Acetabulum alias dicitur, reconditur: in
qua detinetur robustis ligamentis; lato uno, & membranoso, quod à
circumferentia acetabuli exortum, totum articulum circumdat; tum rotundo altero,
& tereti, quod ab ipsa cavitate productum, statim in caput susceptum
demittitur.

LXV.
The head, round and globular at the top, is placed on
an elongated and strong neck, which must support the whole weight of the body;
covered with cartilage, it is placed in a cavity formed by the fusion of the
ilium, ischium and pubis, which is otherwise called the acetabulum: in this
cavity it is held by strong ligaments; one broad and membranous, which begins
around the acetabulum and surrounds the whole joint; and the other round and
rounded, which comes directly from the cavity itself and is directed
immediately to the head, to which it is attached.
