Non-traumatic ligamentum teres tears: association with MRI morphometry of the hip.

Conclusion There is an association between LT tears and acetabular bony morphology; an insufficient acetabular coverage is associated with complete tear of the LT. As the insufficient acetabular coverage may predispose to ligamentum teres tear, the ligamentum teres should be thoroughly evaluated in those with insufficient acetabular coverage, as a potential cause of hip pain.
