APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ligamentum teres is the ligament connecting the head of the femur to the acetabulum. The foveal artery runs within the ligament, though its contribution is only significant in pediatric populations. Two important anastomoses provide collateral blood flow (though limited) to support the femoral head.
