. A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations. femoral ligaments; the formerarises from the anterior andinferior portion of the acetabularmargin and the pubis as farinward as the pectineal eminence, and extends in the anterior andlower part of the capsule to its insertion above the small ischio-femoral ligament is a strong band of fibres on the outerand posterior portion of the capsule, arising from the groove on theischium below the acetabulum. The pubo-femoral ligament limitsabduction; the ischio-femoral limits inversion. On each side of thepubo-femoral band the capsule is very thin ; outside and behind theY-ligament the capsule is very strong, limiting adduction and inwardrotation (Bigelow). The joint is thickly covered in by muscles, of which it is desirablehere to mention only one, the obturator internus, which plays animportant part in the backward dilocations. This muscle, arisingfrom the inner surface of the obturator foramen and the surface ofbone between it and the great sacro-sciatic notch, passes outward. The ilio-femoral, or Y-ligament. (Bigelow.) DISLOCATIONS OF THE HIP. 793 through the small sacro-sciatic notch, turns sharply forward, and isinserted upon the front part of the inner surface of the great troclianterin conjunction with the two gemelli which arise respectively from thespine and tuberosity of the ischium. Above it is the pyriformis, belowit the quad rat us femoris. The centre of the head of the femur lies about two inches directlybelow the anterior inferior spine of the ilium, and at about the samedistance downward and outward from the centre of, and in a directionat right angles to, a line drawn from the anterior superior spine of theilium to the spine of the pubis. When the bones are normal and inplace, and the limb is partly flexed, a line drawn across the outer aspectof the thigh from the anterior superior spine of the ilium to the lowestpart of the tuberosity of the ischium will cross the upper part of thegreat t
