“…Existe controversia en cuanto al origen extraarticular o intraarticular del mismo (8,9) . Algunos reportan que la cápsula puede incorporar un número de fibras profundas del LAL (8,10,39) , mientras que otros defienden el origen extracapsular del mismo (9,10,12,22) . La localización de la inserción femoral es la que más discusión provoca.…”

“…The ALL seems to have a certain variability that occurs in at 33-97% of the human population. 1,4,15,16 Whether the ALL is absent from a specimen or has simply been obliterated or overlooked can be due to the multiple dissection techniques. 17 The impact of an ALL absence, even if only unilateral, needs to be investigated in clinical and imaging studies to finally clarify its importance.…”

Although the anterolateral ligament (ALL) was described a long time ago, recent research shows a lot of interest regarding this structure. There is a high variability concerning its anatomy, especially its capsular/extracapsular situation and insertion sites. There is also some controversy about its ligamentous structure. It seems that it has a biomechanical role in restricting anterior tibial translation and internal rotation. The ALL complex seems to have a clinical significance, and a relationship with the pivot shift has been described. Although there are promising results recently, the surgical techniques of ALL reconstruction, in addition to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, have to be further investigated. A precise indication algorithm and patient selection criteria need to be established.

“…Despite the understanding of the anterolateral structures as a restraint, recent publications of a newly discovered "anterior longitudinal ligament" has engaged the research community in a re-examination of the anatomical, histological, and biomechanical components of the anterolateral capsule [59,60]. Recent anatomic study has reported the dissections of 24 different animal species in which a double lateral collateral ligament (LCL) was observed in three types of primates, but no discrete ALL was ever discovered.…”

Motion at the knee joint is a complex mechanical phenomenon. Stability is provided by a combination of static and dynamic structures that work in concert to prevent excessive movement or instability that is inherent in various knee injuries. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a main stabilizer of the knee, providing both translational and rotatory constraint. Despite the high volume of research directed at native ACL function, pathogenesis and surgical reconstruction of this structure, a gold standard for objective quantification of injury and subsequent repair, has not been demonstrated. Furthermore, recent studies have suggested that novel anatomic structures may play a significant role in knee stability. The use of biomechanical principles and testing techniques provides essential objective/quantitative information on the function of bone, ligaments, joint capsule, and other contributing soft tissues in response to various loading conditions. This review discusses the principles of biomechanics in relation to knee stability, with a focus on the objective quantification of knee stability, the individual contributions of specific knee structures to stability, and the most recent technological advances in the biomechanical evaluation of the knee joint.
