Fragments from the book Gadow H. Zur vergleichenden Anatomie: der Muskulatur des Beckens und der hinteren Gliedmasse der Ratiten (Comparative anatomy: pelvic and hind limb muscles of ratites, 1880). The author observed ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in ratites: rhea, cassowary, ostrich. Synonyms for this structure are used: ligamentum teres and lig. rotundum foraminis acetabuli, and its strength is noted. Translation into Russian is available at the link: 1880GadowHF.

Femur (Oberschenkel). Das sehr starke Femur liegt mit einem fast runden Kopfe in der Gelenkpfanne, woselbst es durch ein festes Ligamentum teres befestigt ist. Der Hals ist kurz. Der dem Trochanter major entsprechende Rollhügel ist sehr gross , nach vorn gerichtet ; in der Mitte seiner Aussenfläche befindet sich , dort wo die Sehnen der proximalen Beckenmuskeln inseriren , eine rauhe Stelle. Sein nach hinten gerichteter Theil liegt mit dem benachbarten Theile des Collum dem Antitrochanter an.

Femur (thigh). The very strong femur, with its almost round head, lies in the glenoid cavity, where it is attached by a strong ligamentum teres. The neck is short. The greater trochanter, is very large and directed anteriorly; in the middle of its outer surface, where the tendons of the proximal pelvic muscles insert, there is a rough spot. Its posteriorly directed part, together with the adjacent part of the neck, lies against the antitrochanter.
