CORR Insights^®: Rotational Laxity Control by the Anterolateral Ligament and the Lateral Meniscus Is Dependent on Knee Flexion Angle: A Cadaveric Biomechanical Study

Excerpt

Although ACL injuries are a common condition and the topic produces a tremendous amount of research, we still do not sufficiently understand the pathomechanics of the ACL-deficient knee, nor its complex interplay with the surrounded capsuloligamentous structures. How else can we explain why some patients function adequately without reconstruction while others have recurring episodes of instability [4], or why some of us reconstruct the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in most primary ACL reconstructions [10], whereas others do not? …
