Estudo anatômico do ligamento anterolateral do joelho

The meniscal insertion of the knee anterolateral ligament

“…Other existing studies [4,16] report a close relationship with the lateral meniscus but do not cite the macroscopic location of this insertion.…”

“…Of the six previous anatomical studies on this structure, five [4,6,16,18,28] reported this insertion, and one [8] of them denied its existence. However, none of them clearly reported with objective data the position of this insertion in relation to the lateral meniscus.…”

“…None of the cadavers used had any history of previous surgeries, fractures or infection around the knee that could alter its anatomy. For the ALL dissection, a protocol already described in previous anatomical studies of this structure was used [16,18].…”

“…Recent anatomical studies have clearly described the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee [4,6,8,16,18,28]. This ligament has gained importance due to its possible relationship to the injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a widely studied topic in the orthopedic literature.…”

Comparison of reaction forces on the anterior cruciate and anterolateral ligaments during internal rotation and anterior drawer forces at different flexion angles of the knee joint

“…first reported on the knee anterolateral ligament (ALL) in the literature in 1879 . Recent anatomic studies were conducted, beginning in 2012 to define the parameters for insertion and the origin of the ALL …”
