Patients who have had surgical excision of the ligamentum teres during open osteochondroplasty for cam deformities do not exhibit symptoms of a Type I ligamentum teres rupture. Our results show that minor instability symptoms may be present but symptoms present more like to Type II (partial) injuries. We propose that Type II injuries be divided into Type IIa; partial tear and Type IIb; iatrogenic rupture.
Vibration therapy did not result in any statistically significant improvement in functional outcome scores compared to standard treatment for TE. It is important to note that this was a relatively small cohort and a high dropout rate was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
