[i] Several factors play a role in the etiology of DDH, particularly
mechanical structural (connective tissue laxity and capsular and acetabular
structures, such as the labrum, pulvinar, ligamentum teres, and transverse
acetabular ligament), genetic (racial characteristics and gender), and mechanical
environmental factors (oligohydramniosis, breech birth, first birth, and
postnatal position) [3,4,11].
The literature suggests that DDH is four to six times more common in
females than in males, attributed to ligament laxity resulting from maternal
and fetal hormones [15,16].

[ii] Intraarticular sources [of greater trochanteric pain] include labral tears, loose bodies, femoroacetabular impingement, capsular laxity, ligamentum teres tears, and osteoarthritis.
[iii] Hip
arthroscopy is an additional procedure that can treat intra-articular
pathology, including labral tears, capsular laxity, ligamentum teres injury,
and chondral damage, all of which are common in the setting of hip dysplasia.
[iv] Abstract
This evolving article collects views on the importance of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) to the musculoskeletal system. Our collection aims to highlight the emerging fundamental shift in the current consensus in the orthopaedic and musculoskeletal research communities regarding the meaning of LCF. Here the convinced convince others. Ultimately, this once-unconventional idea will become established knowledge, enabling a transformation in clinicians’ thinking and in approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of hip joint pathologies.
[v] Teres is a
relatively small ligament that runs from the acetabular fossa to the head of
the femur. It provides some stability to the hip joint and carries a small
artery that supplies blood to the femoral head.
[vi] To eliminate intra-articular obstacles
and achieve stable reduction in a minimally invasive manner, arthroscopy of the
right hip joint was performed. Intraoperatively, hourglass-shaped capsular
deformity, hypertrophy of lipofibrous granulation tissue in the acetabular
floor, and abnormal transverse and ligamentum teres were identified.
Arthroscopic capsular release, granulation tissue debridement, and ligament
resection were carried out.
[vii] Capsulotomy was done to remove
intra-articular obstacles, including the pulvinar, transverse acetabular
ligament, and ligamentum teres, before reducing the femoral head.
[viii] The artery
of the round ligament contributes scarcely to the total irrigation of the
femoral head, …
[ix] Hip preservation surgical techniques are available to patients who present with hip pain unrelated to arthritic changes, with the goal of preserving the native hip joint. Diagnoses indicated for these treatments include femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, ligamentum teres tears, and acetabular dysplasia [1].

pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2014;44:A1–32. doi: 10.2519/jospt.2014.0302
[x] The structures that can be assessed in
detail during hip arthrograms include the cartilaginous femoral head; the
labrum, limbus and neolimbus; the bony and cartilaginous acetabular roof;
intra-capsular structures like pulvinar, ligamentum teres and transverse
acetabular ligament; and extra-capsular structures like the psoas shadow and
capsular constriction.
[xii] The
coxofemoral joint derives most of its stability from the round ligament of the
femoral head, the joint capsule, and the dorsal acetabular rim.
