Abstract:
We report the case of a 14-year-old female gymnast who presents with bilateral hip pain and mechanical symptoms with extremes of range of motion. The patient failed conservative management and had worsening symptoms, including pain at rest. Diagnostic imaging failed to provide any definitive diagnosis and the patient underwent staged bilateral hip arthroscopies with debridement of inflamed, hypertrophic ligamentum teres. The patient did well postoperatively and has returned to athletic activities.
