Abstract:It is widely acknowledged that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the cause of anterolateral instability, but in some cases not only the ACL ruptures, but also anterolateral structures (ALS), including the anterolateral ligament. Their insufficiency may be the cause of residual instability after ACL reconstruction, which significantly increases the risk of graft rupture. In the past, anterolateral instability caused by ACL injury was treated with extra-articular reconstructions, including lateral ex… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
