Body
was changed:
The ligamentum teres is located within the hip joint and is of dubious structural significance in the adult. It ranges from a well formed structure in some, to not being visualized in others. In the infant, it has an importanta significant role in so far as it transmits a nutrient artery to the femoral head epiphysis. The ligament passes from the transverse ligament and acetabular notch of the acetabulum to the femoral head where it inserts into a shallow depression called the fovea capitis. The ligament is lined by synovium.
