The ligamentum teres and its role in hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ligamentum teres (LT) has received attention in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Indeed, a better understanding of the function of the LT and its implications for clinical outcomes in the presence of a torn LT is required. This systematic review analyses the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the complication rate when an intact or torn LT is encountered during HA for FAI.

Methods

Studies that compared patients with an intact to those with a torn LT managed with debridement during hip arthroscopy for FAI were identified from the Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase. The minimum follow-up for inclusion was 24 months. The Risk of Bias in Non-randomised Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool was used to a
