Excerpt

Shea and colleagues are not the first to recently investigate the appearance of the anterior lateral ligament (ALL) [5, 7] on MRI, but they do expand our knowledge on the frequency of its existence in the pediatric population. Although we have known about the ALL for more than a century, its very existence has yet to be universally accepted, and its functional role and mechanical involvement in the Segond fracture has yet to be determined. …
