The fovea capitis is located "slightly posterior and inferior to the center of the articular surface of the femoral head (Cerezal)" Unlike the head of the femur, the fovea capitis lacks any hyaline cartilage. The fovea capitis may contain vascular canals in two-thirds of individuals, but "their contribution to femoral head vascularity varies.
It is triangular in shape and somewhat flattened. The ligament is implanted by its apex into the antero superior part of the fovea capitis femoris and its base is attached by two bands, one into either side of the acetabular notch, and between these bony attachments it blends with the transverse ligament. [2]
The acetabulum is also home to the acetabular fossa, an attachment site for the ligamentum teres, a triangular, somewhat flattened band implanted by its apex into the antero-superior part of the fovea capitis femoris. The notch is converted into a foramen by the transverse acetabular ligament; through the foramen nutrient vessels and nerves ...
The head of femur, which articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone, composes two-thirds of a sphere. It has a small groove or fovea, connected through the round ligament to the sides of the acetabular notch. The head of the femur is connected to the shaft through the neck or collum. The neck is 4–5 cm. long and the diameter is ...
The trochanters are parts of the femur, to which muscles attach. [13] It may refer to the greater, ... An example of a fovea is the fovea capitis of the head of the ...
The distal capsular attachment on the femur follows the shape of the irregular rim between the head and the neck. As a consequence, the capsule of the hip joint attaches in the region of the intertrochanteric line on the anterior side, but a finger away from the intertrochanteric crest on the posterior side of the head.

The ligament is one of the sites of attachment of the ligament of head of femur. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] : 789 Some sources consider the transverse acetabular ligament as the part of the acetabular labrum over the acetabular notch, [ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ 3 ] : 786 while another states that the labrum attaches onto the ligament.
The head of the femur was large and lacked a fovea capitis femoris (a small depression in the head of the femur). [2] The femur was short and extremely robust, [14] had a very high collodiaphyseal angle (the angle of the neck and shaft of the bone), and the greater trochanter was small. [2]
