“…Two studies developed a technique for identifying the ALL arthroscopically. 103,127 Both studies viewed the ALL from the lateral gutter and used the popliteus tendon and lateral collateral ligament as arthroscopic landmarks. Sonnery-Cottet et al 103 confirmed ALL identification by arthroscopically marking the structures with a suture anchor in a cadaveric model.…”

Histologically, the ALL appears to be a distinct structure that can be identified with advanced imaging techniques. Biomechanical evidence suggests that the anterolateral structures of the knee, including the ALL, contribute to minimizing anterolateral rotational instability. Cadaveric studies of combined ACLR-LET procedures demonstrated overconstraint of the knee; however, these findings have yet to be reproduced in the clinical literature. The current indications for LET augmentation in the setting of ACLR and the effect on knee kinematic and joint preservation should be the subject of future research.

“…Several authors have described the possibility of arthroscopic identification of ALL and have provided step-by-step descriptions[ 35 ]. According to Zein[ 35 ], it is possible to identify it with a 30° scope through the AL portal. It is necessary to place the limb in a figure of-4-position.…”

Rotatory instability of the knee represents the main reason for failure and poor clinical outcomes regarding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques. It is now clear that the anterolateral complex (ALC) of the knee possesses a fundamental role, in association with the ACL, in controlling internal rotation. Over the past decade, ever since the anterolateral ligament has been identified and described as a distinct structure, there has been a renewed interest in the scientific community about the whole ALC: Lateral extra-articular tenodesis have made a comeback in association with ACL reconstructions to improve functional outcomes, reducing the risks of graft failure and associated injuries. Modern ACL reconstruction surgery must therefore investigate residual instability and proceed, when necessary, to extra-articular techniques, whether functional tenodesis or anatomical reconstruction.This review aims to investigate the latest anatomical and histological descriptions, and the role in rotational control and knee biomechanics of the ALC and its components. The diagnostic tools for its identification, different reconstruction techniques, and possible surgical indications are described.. In addition, clinical and functional results available in the literature are reported.

“…Recent publications have rediscovered this ligament through classical anatomical dissection studies [3], MRI studies [11, 38] and studies combining dissection and ultrasonography [2]. Intra‐operative descriptions of the ALL have also been made [46, 57].…”
