[i] Suspected labral tears in the hip or shoulder, certain ligamentous evaluation such as UCL tears in the elbow, injuries of the ligamentum teres in the hip, or imaging the postoperative joint are typical indications for MR arthrography,

[ii] Conclusions. For the first time, we elucidated the cellular heterogeneity of the abnormal ligamentum teres in patients with DDH at the single-cell and spatial levels using snRNA-Seq and MiP-Seq, which allowed us to construct a single-cell map of the ligamentum teres. We found that receptor-like cells and ligament stem cells are closely associated with the pathogenesis of DDH. Moreover, ligament stem cells appear to be involved in the regulation of ECM metabolism and play an essential role in the pathological changes leading to ligamentum teres thickening and hypertrophy. Eight ligand–receptor pairs related to the ECM–receptor pathway were identified to be closely linked to DDH. Finally, we believe that pericytes in the ligamentum teres could potentially serve as a source of ligament stem cells and fibroblasts. 

[iii] All 58 hips showed safe zone improvement and concentric reduction after arthroscopic debridement. Hypertrophic ligamentum teres and thickened pulvinars were detected and resected in all hips. Constrictive capsules preventing reduction were observed in 15 hips, which needed to be further released. 

[iv] Of the remaining features, only ligamentum teres tears and paralabral cysts affected more hips at follow-up than baseline (Supplementary information 2%). ... For example, cartilage defects, labral tears, and ligamentum teres tears were not allowed to improve over time.

[vii] In humans and cats, the femoral capital growth plate can be partially supplied with blood via branches of the artery of the ligament of the femoral head (epiphysis); however, no such blood supply exists in dogs.

[viii] Classically, the hip is considered a constrained joint, with its stability achieved by both osseous congruity between the femoral head and acetabulum as well as nonosseous structures, including the acetabular labrum, ligamentum teres, and hip capsule ligaments.20,29,32 20. Mortensen AJ, Metz AK, Froerer DL, Aoki SK.

[ix] Many factors contribute to hip stability. Static stabilizers include the osseous ball-and-socket morphology, capsuloligamentous structures (ie, iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments), zona orbicularis, ligamentum teres, and synovial fluid suction seal generated by the femoral head, labrum, and transverse acetabular ligament.7 , 13 , 23 7. Crawford MJ, Dy CJ, Alexander JW, Thompson M, Schroder SJ, Vega CE, et al.

[x] The femoral head and articular cartilage develop distally. In the meanwhile, autolysis occurs in the intermediate layer, resulting in the formation of ligamentum teres, synovial membrane, and joint space. It is possible to identify the hip joint by the eleventh week. But, during intrauterine growth, an important difference appears: the acetabulum develops more slowly than the femoral head, which leaves the former with inadequate covering. Any break in their communication triggers aberrant growth. An abnormal connection between the acetabulum and femur is caused by prolonged swaddling in an extreme posture, where the hip is stretched, adducted, and immovable, which prevents the hip from developing normally. Interestingly, the acetabulum keeps growing until a child is five years old. Chronic alterations brought on by persistent misalignment include thickening of the ligamentum teres, hypertrophy of the capsule, and development of a neolimbus, or thicker acetabular border. 

[xi] An additional study by Maldonado et al 28 also perform a matched-pair controlled study; however, comparison was between patients with and without ligamentum teres tears (LTTs). 

[xii] … relaxin in the ligamentum teres of female infants who undergo open reduction for developmental dysplasia …

[xiii] Labral reconstruction is performed using autografts (e.g., ligamentum teres, joint capsule, rectus femoris, fascia lata, iliotibial band, gracilis tendon, quadriceps tendon) or allografts (e.g., anterior and posterior tibialis, semitendinosus, and peroneus brevis tendons, fascia lata) through either an open or arthroscopic approach.

[xiv] Intraoperatively, the lesion depicted in the scans was present from the acetabular fovea and migrating along the ligamentum teres, destroying the femoral head at the insertion of the ligamentum teres towards the middle of the femoral head (Figures 8-10). 

[xv] Then the hypertrophied acetabular ligamentum teres and transverse ligament, the contractural soft tissue in the acetabulum were excised via a T-shaped incision to the capsule in cases of subluxated or dislocated hip. 

[xvi] According to this technique, a trochanteric osteotomy is performed; the ligamentum teres is transected, retaining the subperiosteal pane with the vascular structures; and after that, the joint is anteriorly dislocated. The femoral head deformity is evaluated and corrected using a subcapital osteotomy, which is fixed afterward.

[xvii] It has been reported that females present a higher prevalence of intra-articular and extra-articular hip injuries, including labral and ligamentum teres pathology, psoas impingement, proximal hamstring and gluteal tendinopathy, ischiofemoral impingement, stress fractures, and nerve entrapment syndromes (15). ... Athletes participating in flexibility sports (FS) demonstrated higher rates of cartilage lesions and tears of the round ligament after FAI surgery compared to athletes in other sports (14)14.

[xx] An interesting observation during necropsy was that gross pathological findings were closely associated with joint instability in all investigated horses. In five out of seven horses partial or complete rupture of the Ligamentum capitis ossis femoris could be observed,3-5 suggesting joint instability to be a key pathogenetic factor for OA of the CFJ. Due to the frequent history of trauma, it is more likely that rupture of the ligaments of the head of the femur is rather the trigger than the consequence of OA, although rupture secondary to degeneration of the ligament has to be considered.  3.

[xxi] There is no rugosity for the capitate ligament, although this area is damaged in the larger MPC-D 102/12.

[xxii] The surface of the rounded femoral head is rugose. In posterior view, a wide groove for the capital ligament is present on the femoral head.

[xxiii] Conclusion. The ligamentum teres plays a significant role in maintaining the suction seal of the hip, with its effect being most prominent when the hip is in neural alignment or in extension. The findings suggest that ligamentum teres deficiency may be a relevant treatment target in the clinical setting, including reconstruction, to achieve optimal hip joint stability.

[xxiv] Abstract. The ligamentum teres (LT) is known to play a role as a secondary stabilizer of the hip joint. LT tears can be associated with hip instability. In patients with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH), the correlation between LT tears and microinstability is even more pronounced because of the increased mechanical stress placed on the ligament. This relationship may lead certain surgeons to consider new indications for LT reconstructions. However, caution is warranted regarding the potential role of LT reconstruction in these patients, particularly since the primary deficiency in BDDH is bony undercoverage.

[xxv] Conclusions. LT tears and increased combined anteversion at the 3-o’clock level on the acetabular clockface were associated with hip microinstability in patients with BDDH, suggesting that patients with BDDH and LT tears might have a greater prevalence of anterior microinstability.

[xxvi] The hip is a uniquely constrained joint with critical static stability provided by the labrum, capsule and capsular ligaments, and ligamentum teres. … The ligamentum teres is situated between the acetabular notch and the fovea of the femoral head. Initially considered to be inconsequential, recent studies have recognized its role in hip rotational stability. Existing classification systems of ligamentum teres tears account for injury mechanism, arthroscopic findings, and treatment options. Injuries to the labrum, capsule, and ligamentum teres are implicated in symptoms of hip instability. The authors discuss the labrum, capsule, and ligamentum teres, highlighting their anatomy, pathologic conditions, MRI features, and postoperative appearance.

[xxvii] … ligament of the head of the femur, by virtue of its attachments, strongly prevents the hip joint from becoming dislocated posterosuperiorly. However, if the ligament is abnormally long, it will not prevent a posterosuperior dislocation ...

[xxviii] No blood flow was observed in the necrotic femoral head. Following hip dislocation with the release of the ligamentous teres, the epiphysis was trimmed. After the epiphysis was curetted to remove the physeal cartilage, the epiphysis was reduced. The epiphysis was fixed with a 6.5 mm cannulated screw. The capsule was closed.

[xxix] There is hope for patients facing revision arthroscopy as some advanced techniques have the potential to improve patient symptoms and prognosis. Some of these procedures include labral reconstruction/augmentation, capsule reconstruction, ligamentum teres reconstruction, and remplissage of the femoral head-neck junction [4950]. 49. Locks R, Bolia I, Utsunomiya H, Briggs K, Philippon MJ.

[xxx] Physiotherapist-led management involves exercises aimed to optimise movement patterns of the hip and pelvis to prevent impingement from occurring, activity modification and analgesia, whereas surgical management involves arthroscopic resection of the cam/pincer morphology and treatment of concomitant soft tissue pathologies such as labral tears, cartilage lesions or ligamentum teres tears.

[xxxi] The hip joint capsule was incised in a “T" shape and dissected to the sides, exposing the femoral head (Fig. 1b). The round ligament of the femoral head was then severed, and the hip joint was fully dislocated.  

[xxxii] Labral and ligamentum teres reconstruction and periacetabular osteotomy. 

[xxxiii] Hip arthroscopy surgery can clearly show the acetabular glenoid lip, femur and acetabular cartilage surface, fovea, round ligament, synovium and other structures. Therefore, it can be used to diagnose and treat various hip joint diseases.

  The authors reported a case of open hip dislocation and documented avulsion of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) from the acetabulum.  The injured LCF appeared as a large cord-like structure, attached to the femoral head ( Fig. 1 ). Perhaps Hippocrates of Kos saw such an LCF in open dislocation of the hip and described it in his treatise «Mochlicus» ( 1886AdamsF ). One year later, the patient's x-ray revealed a significant narrowing of the joint space in the upper part of the hip joint ( Fig. 9 ). In our opinion, this to be a consequence of hyaline cartilage wear due to overload in the absence of LCF. In an unaffected hip joint, the width of the radiological joint space at the upper section than in the lower section ( Ossification of the LCF ). When examined one year after the injury, the patient could stand on one leg. We noticed that his body was excessively deviated towards the supporting hip joint, and the opposite half of the pelvis was elevated ( Fig. 8 ). This is a me

  We present a study dedicated to the experimental investigation of the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Wilhelm Braune established that the LCF prevents hip supination and adduction, especially during flexion. In the conclusion of the study, the author writes: "It also remains to determine in which body movements this ligament function plays a role, as it is currently unclear why the femur requires a special fixing device…". Apparently, Wilhelm Braune did not have time to find the answer, since his outstanding monograph on LCF does not say a word ( Braune W, Fischer O. Der Gang des Menschen (1895 books.google ) . Based on our own experiments on mechanical models and research, we believe that adduction and supination of the hip, along with flexion, are observed at the beginning of the single-support period of the step. At this moment, tension occurs in the LCF, allowing to reduce the load on the upper segment of the femoral head. The LCF is also stretched in

2016ArkhipovaAS Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements.

  Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements The classification of joints with flexible elements was first proposed by A.S. Arkhipova in 2016 and presented at conferences in 2016-2017 ( 2017АрхиповаАС ). Joints with flexible elements are divided by the author into detachable and non-detachable, three-axis, two-axis, and single-axis. Each can contain in various combinations one or more external and internal flexible elements - analogs of joint ligaments, including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Conditional designations of joints with flexible elements using the example of a ball joint: Detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Non-detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Flexible e

1879MorrisH

  Fragments of the book Morris H. The anatomy of the joints of man (1879) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author discusses the anatomy of the LCF and describes his experiments to study its movement.   Quote p p . 318-319 The acetabulum is partly articular, partly non-articular. The articular portion is of horseshoe shape, and extends inwards from the margin, more or less. It is altogether deficient at the cotyloid notch, which corresponds with the gap of the horseshoe. It is the widest at the iliac part, where it is over one inch from without inwards; then it very gradually gets narrower along the ischium, but widens out again at the ischial end of the cotyloid notch ; forwards from the pubo-iliac suture it narrows more rapidly, and does not extend quite up to the pubic end of the cotyloid notch. At its narrowest point in an adult bone it measures half an inch in width. When coated with cartilage, and fringed round with the cotyloid ligament, it fits very closel

150-250Targum Jonathan

  Fragments from the Targum Jonathan on Genesis. Tractate was written between about 150 - 250 in lend of Israel. The text is a combination of a translation and commentary on the book of Bereshit. The unknown compiler mentions ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in an animal and an episode of its damage in a human. See our commentary at the link: 150-250Targum Jonathan [Rus]. Quote 1. [Heb] Genesis. 32:33 (original source:  sefaria.org ) Quote 2. [Heb] Genesis. 43:16 (original source:  sefaria.org ) Translation Quote 1. [Eng] Genesis. 32:33 Therefore, the sons of Israel eat not the sinew which shrank, which is in the hollow of the thigh of cattle and of wild animals, until this day; because the Angel touched and laid hold of the hollow of the right thigh of Jakob, in the place of the sinew which shrank.

1679DiemerbroeckI

  Fragments from the book Diemerbroeck I. Anatome corporis humani (1679). The author describes the pathology variants, function, topography and attachment of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The damage to the LCF in hip dislocation, symptoms and treatment are discussed. The text is similar to a paraphrase of Hegetor's work «On Causes» and Galen of Pergamon's commentary on Hippocrates' treatise «On Joints» ( 1745CocchiA ;  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ). Isbrand van Diemerbroeck uses many synonyms for LCF: nervus cartilaginosus, terete, teres, rotundum ligamentum, interius ligamentum. Quote p. 593. [Lat] CAPUT XIX. De Ossibus Femoris, & Cruris. Superius procesum crassum, versus coxendicis os prominentem, eique epiphyin rotundam & amplam impositam habet, sicque globosum femoris caput, valida cervice subnixum, constituit, quod cartilagine obductum in coxendicis acetabulum reconditur, in eoque duobus validis ligamentis detinetur: uno lato, crasso, & membranoso,

2014ArkhipovaAS

  In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).   Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S.
