Abstract:
According to the literature review, no cyst of the hip ligamentum teres has been reported. In this study, a 50?year?old female patient was admitted to the hospital because of sprained left hip pain with movement restriction for 15 months. The unilateral hip joint MRI showed cyst of the hip ligamentum teres, which was diagnosed as left hip joint cyst in the outpatient de?partment. Thus, the patient was admitted to the hospital. Physical examination showed that the left hip joint movement was slightly restricted with positive FADDIR test and FABER test. Arthroscopic surgical examination revealed a 1.5 cm×1.0 cm cyst at the lo?cation of the round ligament which was then cleared with a planer knife and radiofrequency. The treatment results were satisfacto?ry. The present study reviewed the literature about anatomical and biomechanical physicochemical properties of the ligamentum teres. The function of the ligamentum teres is important for the hip joint. In diagnosis of hip disease, unilateral hip MRI plays an important role in accurate diagnosis of such diseases. The hip arthroscopy provide a minimal invasive technique in treating cyst of the hip ligamentum teres. With the application of the hip arthroscopy, it will undoubtedly improve the diagnosis and treatment of hip diseases.
