This study examined the relationship between ligamentum teres tears and acetabular radiographic architecture on 360 hips. Ligamentum tears were more common in hips with lower lateral center edge angle, higher inclination, and in hips without acetabular retroversion. These results suggest that hips with lesser bony constraint may be more dependent on the ligamentum as a secondary stabilizer.
