ABSTRACT
The function of the ligamentum teres remains poorly understood, but tears have been recognized as a source of hip pain. In some patients with complete ligamentum teres tears, symptoms of instability are described. Microinstability and excess motion are hypothesized to be a source of pain and mechanical symptoms. Efforts in recent years to improve symptoms have led to the development of techniques used to reconstruct the ligamentum teres, with some early evidence that reconstruction can improve symptoms in appropriately selected patients. We describe our technique for ligamentum teres allograft reconstruction using anchors made only of suture seated in the acetabular floor.
