Fragment from the book Clayton M, Philo R. Leonardo da Vinci: The mechanics of man (2013). The authors describe a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci depicting the insertion site of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The drawing was created in the winter of 1510-1511 in Milan while studying the anatomy of the human body (1510Leonardo_da Vinci).
Quote p. 90
The slightly enlarged upper head of the fibula and the blunted
appearance of the styloid processes at the end of the tibia and fibula may have
resulted from using freshly prepared bones, with portions of ligaments and
cartilage remaining, rather than dried bones. A small piece of ligament seems
to be visible on the head of the femur in the drawings below, at upper right
and at upper center, and the patella drawn in isolation at upper left appears
to have some of the patellar ligament remaining on its lower edge.
