Necrosis of the ligamentum teres hepatis is a very rare and misdiagnosed pathology. Four cases have been reported in the literature. Clinical symptoms with acute abdominal pain suggest peritonitis. The diagnostic may be obtained by CT scan of the abdomen revealing a hypo/dense circular lesion, anterior to the liver, to the junction of the segments III and IV, associated with inflammation. The mechanism of isolated necrosis of the round liver ligament remains unclear. In the absence of a preoperative diagnosis, a video-laparoscopic exploration is proposed.

Indications for the addition of a patellofemoral joint arthroplasty following a previous unicondylar knee arthroplasty- a literature review and Delphi consensus.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Institute for Locomotion, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to establish an international consensus statement on the indications for the addition of a patellofemoral joint arthroplasty (PFJA) in patients with a unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) and symptomatic progression of patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and the results used to inform the development of a statement by an expert working group. This was then evaluated and modified, using a Delphi process, by members of the European Knee Society (EKS).
The ligamentum teres and its role in hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement: a systematic review.

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.

A woman in her early 20s presented with a huge pedunculated tumour of the vulva which had progressively increased in size over the course of 10 years. Clinical examination revealed a pedunculated solid mass arising from the right labia majora measuring 15×15 cm. CT scan showed a multilobulated mass arising from the right round ligament suggestive of an extrauterine fibroid.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.

Background: Anatomic rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ART-ACLR) can mimic the fiber arrangement of the native ACL and restore normal knee biomechanics, compared with the conventional round tunnel ACLR. ART-ACLR using a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft can provide satisfactory clinical outcomes; however, some issues such as secondary ACL injury and donor-site morbidity, including postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP), remain to be solved. Due to these issues, quadriceps tendon-bone (QTB) grafts have recently become more popular.
