llow of the head of thebone I. Head of the bone, hanging in the acetabulum by theligamentum teres only, smoothed by one bone rubbingagainst the other: a portion of its surface having liga-ment secreted upon it K. The capsular ligament exceedingly thickened; more espe-cially on that part of the joint which is opposite to theforamen ovale. Fig. 2. ^ A. Ilium B. Pubes C. Ischium D. Foramen ovale E. Os femoris F. Broken cervix femoris, in a great degree absorbed G. The head of the bone, supported by the ligamentum teres, and having no other connection with the body: its sur-face smoothed by friction when the person begins towalk. In each of these preparations the head and neck of the bone,conjointly, would not form more than one third the naturallength of those parts* Fig. 3.The neck of the bone broken in a dog, and no union isproduced but by ligament. Fig. 4.The neck of the thigh-bone broken and ununited but byligament. The ligament in this experiment was not injuredin breaking the bone.
