The ligamentum teres, also known as the ligamentum capitis femoris or round ligament of the hip, is an intra-articular ligament within the medial hip joint.
Labral or ligamentum teres tears usually occur as a result of a trauma or injury of the hip. This can be common in jumping sports such as football, basketball, netball and gymnastics, or in people who have been involved in car accidents.
The Ligamentum Teres, also known as ligamentum femoris capitis, is an intra-articular extrasynovial ligament of the hip with acetabular and femoral attachments. Earlier research described it as a vestigial structure [2] [3] , however, recent studies have suggested the ligamentum teres to have an important function in proprioception ...
The ligamentum teres (LT) has traditionally been described as a redundant structure with no contribution to hip biomechanics or function. There has been renewed interest in the LT as a source of hip pathology due to the high prevalence of LT pathology observed at the time of hip arthroscopy.
Ligamentum teres: Located deep in the hip, it has a pyramidal shape with a broad origin from nearly the entire transverse acetabular ligament attaching to the ischial and pubic bases by two bundles, with the posterior bundle being stronger than the anterior bundle. The ligamentum teres’ function prior to puberty has been well-described as it ...
The ligamentum teres of the hip connects the femoral head to the acetabulum. It is an important in providing hip stability and supplies blood to the femoral head. Damage to the ligamentum teres is most often caused by traumatic injury or repetitive twisting movements.
The ligamentum teres (LT) has attracted much greater interest over recent years due to the increased use of hip arthroscopy. There have been advancements in our understanding of the LT’s biomechanical function and its role in hip and groin pain. Our ability to suspect LT tears by clinical examination and imaging has improved.
Some studies have described it as a vestigial structure in the adult hip. More recent biomechanical studies, however, along with histological and anatomical studies, have suggested the LT to have an important function in proprioception, nociception, and as a secondary stabilizer of the hip joint.

The ligamentum teres has traditionally been viewed as an embryonic remnant with no role in the biomechanics or vascularity of adult hips. However, the ligamentum teres is a strong intraarticular ligament that is anatomically and biochemically similar to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee.
