With great interest I have read the article “Anatomical study on the anterolateral ligament of the knee” in your journal.1 Meanwhile another morphological study by Claes et al.2 also reported regular occurrence of the anterolateral ligament of the knee. Together with the data of Vincent et al., these three studies have examined 57 anatomical specimen and found the anterolateral ligament in 56 o...

OBJECTIVE To verify the incidence and characterize morphologically the anterolateral ligament of the knee (ALL) in cadaveric samples of the collection of the Laboratory of Anatomy of the Department of Morphology of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. METHODS Dissections and cross sections were performed for mesoscopic analysis of the anterolateral region of 15 knees preserved in 4% fo...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common procedure in daily practice with 75 to 97% excellent long-term results. But in certain cases, some patients perceive rotational instability, for this reason the revision rate can be 10 to 15%. Objectives: evaluate functional outcome in revisions of ACL reconstruction associated with ALL Methods: Between July 2015 and February 2016 (11 ...

BACKGROUND To determine if tibial tunnel reaming during anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using hamstring autograft can result in anterolateral meniscal root injury, as diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS A case series of 104 primary anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstructions using hamstring autograft was retrospectively reviewed. Pre- a...

The Segond fracture is defined as an avulsion of the proximal anterolateral tibial plateau region originally described by the French surgeon Paul Ferdinand Segond in 1879 [1,2]. This injury is widely accepted as a pathognomonic radiographic marker of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury [1-3]. However, some reports describe this injury in the presence of an intact ACL in skeletally immature ...

BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that double-bundle reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament restores knee kinematics better than does single-bundle reconstruction. The objective of this study was to identify the tibial insertion site of the posterior cruciate ligament and the related osseous landmarks to help guide surgeons in the performance of an anatomical double-bundle reconstr...
