  • Title: Use of a Suture Anchor Technique to Replace the Tethering Effect of the Ligamentum Teres in the Treatment of Complex Hip Dysplasia.
    Author: Magister SJ, Liu RW.
    Journal: Orthopedics; 2020 Sep 01; 43(5):e480-e485. PubMed ID: 32745219.
    Abstract:
    After open hip reduction in hip dysplasia, some hips can have persistent instability, even after pelvic and femoral osteotomies as well as capsulorrhaphy. While the diseased ligamentum teres in a dislocated hip is thought to contribute to inadequate reduction, the native ligament is thought to provide some level of stability. As such, the purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of a suture augment that replaces the function of the ligamentum teres to provide added stability. [Orthopedics. 2020;43(5):e480-e485.].
