Ligamentum teres

The ligamentum teres is a remnant of the artery of the ligamentum teres present in the developing proximal femur that supplies the secondary ossification center of the femoral head.29 The ligamentum teres is a tubular structure that lies between the inferior aspect of the acetabulum and the fovea of the femoral head (Fig. 5). On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation, the ligamentum has an overall length of 28 mm and is approximately 3- to 4-mm thick and gradually tapers from proximal to distal.30 In adulthood, this structure continues to function as a secondary stabilizer of the hip that tightens during hip abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation and may prevent microinstability of the hip joint.31, 32 In addition to its function as a secondary stabilizer, it has been proposed that the ligamentum teres continues to have a role in femoral head proprioception and nociception.33 Injury to the ligamentum teres can occur secondary to trauma, degeneration, or impingement and can be seen as complete tears, partial tears, or degenerative changes that result in pain and microinstability. A retrospective study by Perumal et al reported identification of a ligamentum teres lesion on hip arthroscopy resulted in poorer patient-reported outcomes as well as an increased likelihood of conversion to total hip arthroplasty within 2 years, highlighting the potential biomechanical importance of the ligamentum in hip function.34

[viii] Upper Triassic…  There is also no distinct longitudinal sulcus in the proximal surface of the femoral head.

 

[ix] The vascular supply of the femoral head is primarily derived from the medial femoral circumflex artery through the posterior retinacular branches, with minor contributions from the lateral femoral circumflex system and the artery of ligamentum teres [22, 23]

 

[x] Lastly, abnormalities of the ligamentum teres are graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (complete tear), with intermediate categories for signal abnormality or fraying (1) and partial tear (2).

 

[xi] Hip arthroscopy (HAS) often requires capsular management to access and treat labral, ligamentum teres, acetabular rim, or femoral head–neck pathology.

 

[xii] The surgical hip dislocation (SHD), in its current technique utilizing a trochanteric flip osteotomy, was first described by Ganz in 2001.11 This procedure offers full access to the hip and allows the surgeon to both address cartilage lesions and other concomitant intra-articular pathology—including cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) or pincer lesions, labral tears, loose bodies, et cetera. However, this procedure requires disruption of the ligamentum teres. It may result in microtrauma to the labrum or compromise of the vascular supply, with the potential for AVN or microinstability, although further research is required. 

 

[xiii] In angiographic studies, Atsumi et al. also showed that the ligamentum teres artery plays an important role in blood supply reconstruction in patients with LCPD (Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease) [17]. Morris et al. reported on the medial and lateral perfusion in patients with LCPD using perfusion MRI [18].

The cartilaginous vessels in the posterior and anterior parts were significantly fewer than those in the lateral and medial parts. Increases in the vessels anterior to the FH (femoral head) are rare. This could be because these two parts are farther away from the main blood supply ranges of the LEA (lateral epiphyseal artery) and ligamentum teres artery.

[xiv] Left femoral head (FH) was dislocated from hip joint, ligamentum teres was cut in 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice to disrupt the blood supply to FH.

 

[xv] Cartilage degeneration, thickening of the joint capsule, stretching or rupture of the femoral head ligament, proliferation of the dorsal acetabular rim, thickening of the femoral neck, and local muscle atrophy are characteristic features of advanced hip dysplasia.

 

[xvi] Due to hyperphysiologic mobility required of the hip joint, damage … [in] … dancers include snapping syndromes of the hip, synovitis, and ligamentum teres injuries.

 

[xvii] With directvisualization [arthroscopic-assist], intra-articular obstructions, including hypertrophied ligamentum teres, pulvinar tissue, or inverted labrum, can be dealt with before reduction, obviating the necessity of widespread open dissection.

The role of the ligamentum teres in congenital dislocation of the hip (1970). The authors proposed an analogy for the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) as a “ball and chain control” and noted that it can spontaneously reduce congenital hip dislocation. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1970MichaelsG_MatlesAL . [ii]   Original text Quote p. 199 Many papers in the literature have implicated the ligamentum teres as a hindrance to the late open reduction of a congenitally dislocated hip. Occasionally the ligamentum teres has been reported to be absent. However, in most cases it is hypertrophied and elongated. Our present knowledge confirms the fact that congenital dislocation of t...

Catalog. Classifications of LCF Pathology

  The classifications are intended to systematize of ligamentum capitis femoris pathology and assist in the development of general approaches to its description, registration, analysis and treatment.   Keywords ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, hip joint, histology, pathological anatomy, pathology, trauma INTRODUCTION In Russia, the initial attempts to classify pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) were made by morphologists. The development of arthroscopic surgery has made it possible to identify various, previously undescribed types of LCF pathology, which prompted the development of various modern classifications based on intraoperative observations. Analysis of literature data and our own morphological observations allowed us to propose a General Classification of the Ligamentum Teres Pathology, which has the form of a collection of classifiers, as well as a Classification of Functions of the Ligamentum Teres.
