Injury to the Ligamentum Teres

Nonarthritic Hip Joint Pain

“…66, 156 Injuries to the ligamentum teres are generally considered rare. 91 Rao et al 166 found ligamentum teres injury in less than 8% of arthroscopy cases. Orthopaedic surgeons have reported a ruptured ligamentum teres as a significant arthroscopic finding in individuals reporting hip pain and dysfunction.…”

“…Though traditionally thought to play a minimal role in joint function, more recent findings suggest this structure may play a role in stabilization. 24, 166 The ligamentum teres may be a strong intrinsic stabilizer that resists hip joint subluxation forces. 8, 27 It has the potential to act as a strong intra-articular ligament and an important stabilizer of the hip, particularly when the hip is externally rotated in flexion or internally rotated in extension.…”

“…Orthopaedic surgeons have reported a ruptured ligamentum teres as a significant arthroscopic finding in individuals reporting hip pain and dysfunction. 91 Acute tearing of this structure has been described; 40, 166 however, the correlation between injuries to the ligamentum teres and clinical presentation is not well understood.…”

“…65 Promising results have been reported in patients with isolated injury who do not have other concurrent conditions such as osteochondral defects. 166 Microfracture techniques have been described for medium-size, full-thickness chondral defects. 91 No current studies exist examining the outcomes for microfracture procedures of the hip joint.…”

“…Rao u. Mitarb [22]. beschreiben eine kombinierte Adduktion, Flexion und Außenrotation als mögliche Schä-digungsursache, während De Lee[8] eine anteriore Subluxation des Hüftkopfes und Delcamp u. Mitarb [7].…”
