Abscess of ligamentum teres hepatis

Morphologic Variations of the Umbilical Ring, Umbilical Ligaments and Ligamentum Teres Hepatis

PURPOSE The varied morphology of the umbilical ring and its surrounding structures, such as the ligamentum teres hepatis, and the median and medial umbilical ligaments, has not been thoroughly investigated. Hence, this study was undertaken to clarify the morphologic variations of these structures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anterior abdominal walls were removed en bloc from 57 adult cadavers a...

Arthroscopic ligamentum teres reconstruction.

The ligamentum teres (LT) has been studied since the 19th century, and its anatomy and biomechanical function have been well described. Recent advancements in hip arthroscopy have caused increased awareness of LT pathology. Previous reports have estimated the incidence of LT tears during hip arthroscopy to be 4% to 51%, and LT tears have been estimated to be the third most common reason for hip...

Structural Properties of the Native Ligamentum Teres.

BACKGROUND A majority of studies investigating the role of the ligamentum teres (LT) have focused primarily on anatomical and histological descriptions. To date, however, the structural properties of the LT have yet to be fully elucidated. PURPOSE To investigate the structural properties of the native LT in a human cadaveric model. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS A tota...

Anatomic analysis of the native ligamentum teres

The ligamentum teres of the adult hip.

Advances in hip arthroscopy have renewed interest in the ligamentum teres. Considered by many to be a developmental vestige, it is now recognised as a significant potential source of pain and mechanical symptoms arising from the hip joint. Despite improvements in imaging, arthroscopy remains the optimum method of diagnosing lesions of the ligamentum teres. Several biological or mechanical roles...
