Incidence of Anterolateral Ligament Tears in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Deficient Knee: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis

Assessment of Anterolateral Complex Injuries by Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Acute Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

“…25 These factors have led to a wide range of reported ALL detection rates on MRI, varying between 21% and 100%. [26][27][28][29] We could identify the ALL on MRI in 91% of our patients, and ALL tears were found in 39% of them. According to a systematic review by Puzzitiello et al 30 , these results are well within the range of previously reported ALL detection and injury rates on MRI in patients with ACL rupture, ranging between 76% to 100% and 10% to 62%, respectively.…”

Editorial Commentary: Looking Outside the Box With Ultrasound in an Anterior Cruciate Ligament–Deficient Knee: Welcome to Surgery 2.0

“…I read with great interest the article "Incidence of Anterolateral Ligament Tears in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Deficient KneedA Magnetic Resonance Imaging analysis" by Gaunder, Campbell, Sciortino, and Slabaugh. 2 First of all, I would like to congratulate the authors for this very interesting study. Gaunder et al 2 used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyze the incidence of ALL tears in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees.…”

“…Gaunder et al 2 used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyze the incidence of ALL tears in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees. 2 This was a descriptive, retrospective study. Over a 4-year period, 181 patients were included who had undergone a preoperative MRI examination.…”

The 25‐year experience of over‐the‐top ACL reconstruction plus extra‐articular lateral tenodesis with hamstring tendon grafts: the story so far

“…These results suggest that an intra-articular reconstruction alone may not be sufficient to address combined rotatory instability when ACL rupture is combined with an antero-lateral injury. Considering that recent studies have identified an incidence of combined ALL and ACL lesion in 30–40% of the cases, this subgroup of patients may benefit from an associated extra-articular procedure even in the context of primary reconstruction [ 35 ].…”
