[Ligamentun teres of the hip. Bibliographic revision].

The role and function of the ligamentum teres has drawn our attention in the last years due to the increasing and performance in hip arthroscopy, few is written in the literature, this is why we proposed to perform and assessed a review on the current literature of the anatomy, function, diagnose and rupture of the ligamentum teres of the hip.

Ligamentum teres injuries - an observational study of a proposed new arthroscopic classification.

Ligamentum teres (LT) Injuries or tears have been said to be a common cause of groin discomfort and pain, and they have been identified in 8-51% of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. Currently, in the literature there exist three arthroscopic classifications for LT injuries and tears: the first classification was established by Gray and Villar, Botser and Domb proposed the second one which they called a descriptive classification according to the degree of partial thickness LT tears and more recently the last classification by Cerezal et al. (RadioGraphics 2010; 30:1637-51), where they take into account the one by Gray and Villar but adding an avulsion fracture and absence of the LT.
