Fragments from the book Paaw P. Primitiae anatomicae. De humani corporis ossibus (1615). The author describes the attachment areas of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), notes its role in blood supply, innervation, pathogenesis of inflammation and pain. Rare original synonyms are used: peculiar ligamentum, purum ligamentum, teres, sanguinolentonerveum ligamentum.

Chapter III
There is also a special ligament that supplies blood,
which begins in the center of the head of the femur and is attached to the
center of the acetabulum, even as if it were fused to it. Although this is a
true ligament, it is of a nervous nature, which often causes inflammation and
painful sensations. The same persistent pains are caused by the considerable
depth of the acetabulum and the thickness of the ligaments surrounding it,
which prevent both the spread of [used] drugs and the achievement of the effect
of local remedies.
Chapter IV
From the center of the heads comes a round,
blood-nerve ligament, which is attached to the center of the acetabulum of the
hip joint, which is discussed during the examination of this bone; as well as a
wide and strong ligament surrounding this joint to ensure its safety.
