How Strong Is the Ligamentum Teres of the Hip? A Biomechanical Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intraarticular hip pain represents a substantial clinical challenge, with recent studies implicating lesions in the ligamentum teres as potential contributors. Even more so, damage to the ligamentum teres is particularly prevalent among young patients undergoing joint-preserving interventions. Although several studies have investigated the biomechanical attributes of the ligamentum teres, inconsistencies in reported findings and reliance on cadaveric or animal models have raised concerns regarding the extrapolation of results to clinical practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of research examining ligamentum teres biomechanics specifically within the relevant patient cohort-individuals who benefit from joint-preserving surgical interventions.
