Biomechanical Role of Lateral Structures in Controlling Anterolateral Rotatory Laxity_ The Anterolateral Ligament
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent renewed interest in the anatomy of the anterolateral complex of the knee, combined with concern regarding persistent instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, has led to an expansion of the literature on the biomechanics of many structures of the anterolateral complex of the knee. A review of the clinical significance and the key biomechanical principles concerning this region is performed. The primary and secondary roles of key anatomical structures, with a specific emphasis on the anterolateral ligament, along with length change patterns and implications on anterolateral complex-based reconstruction are reviewed.

Ever since its description, anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee joint remains as the hotspot of controversies.Though it has been described under various descriptions, the structure gained its limelight when it was christenedas anterolateral ligament by Claes in 2013. The main reason for the controversies around it is the lack of concreteevidences regarding its attachments...
متن کاملAnterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Technique: An Anatomic-Based Approach.
Restoration of anteroposterior laxity after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has been predictable with traditional open and endoscopic techniques. However, anterolateral rotational stability has been difficult to achieve in a subset of patients, even with appropriate anatomic techniques. Therefore, differing techniques have attempted to address this rotational laxity by augmenting o...
متن کاملAnatomy and Histology of the Knee Anterolateral Ligament
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common procedures in orthopaedic surgery. However, even with advances in surgical techniques and implants, some patients still have residual anterolateral rotatory laxity after reconstruction. A thorough study of the anatomy of the anterolateral region of the knee is needed. PURPOSE To study the anterolateral...

A 24 year old otherwise healthy male was presented with a chief complaint of giving way in the left knee. MRI reportedcomplete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tearing. Arthroscopy showed ACL agenesis, ring-shaped lateral meniscus,and an anomalous thick band extending from the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the intercondylar notch of thelateral femoral condyle, which...
