good thought about the ligament. I cut the ligament and resected some of it but did not attempt complete resection. the medial portion of the head did indeed have the inferior spike that you mentioned, so yes from this point of reference I felt as if the reduction was near anatomic. there was bony loss at the superior aspect, again from the piece noted between the fragments on the coronal CT cut. so the head was as concentric as it could be. if and when this pt gets a repeat pelvic CT scan I will post images. thanks for the input. dan schlatterer --- "Gruenwald, Johannes M" <JG@uams.edu> wrote: > Did you just release or completely resect the teres ligament?
