It should be observed that the tendon, as it crosses the bony convexity, is retained in its place by a transverse band of fibres. If this tendon be now severed about its middle, the second insertion can be displayed. At the same time it must be observed that, as is commonly the case where a tendon plays over a bony surface, the convexity is made smooth by a veneer of fibro-cartilage, and friction is still further reduced by the presence of a synovial bursa. (2) The second insertion is mainly fleshy and is into the medial aspect of the convexity of the greater tubercle, in close relation to the joint-capsule. Digitized by Microsoft®.
