Abstract

The purpose of this clinical case is to evaluate the efficacy of the Korean medical treatment on a ligamentum teres tear of the hip. One patient, admitted to Daejeon Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine was diagnosed with a ligamentum teres tear of the hip by hip magnetic resonance imaging. We treated the patient using the Korean medical treatments, including acupunture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medication, and cupping. We measured the numerical rating scale (NRS), passive range of motion (PROM) and the changes of symptoms. After 13 days, NRS decreased from 8 to 1 respectively, PROM of hip joint has recovered, and the symptoms of the patient improved. In conclusion, this study shows that Korean medical treatment might be effective in treating the patient with a ligamentum teres tear of the hip.
