The anatomy of the patellofemoral (PF) joint is reflective of its primary function of knee
extension and eccentric quadriceps contraction, as it operates as a functional unit to …

Purpose To characterize the tensile and histologic properties of the anterolateral ligament
(ALL), inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL), and knee capsule. Methods Standardized …

Background: The anterolateral ligament (ALL) has been identified as a structure on the
lateral side of the knee, but debate exists regarding whether it is a capsular thickening or a …

Objectives The presence of a discrete ligament within the knee anterolateral capsule (ALC)
is controversial. Tendons and ligaments have typical collagens, ultrastructure, transcription …

The goal of improving rotatory knee stability in patients undergoing anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) reconstruction has led to renewed interest in the extra-articular structures of …

The aim of this study was to determine the presence and morphology of the anterolateral
ligament (ALL) of the knee in a sample of fetuses. We hypothesized that the ALL is present …

The controversy regarding the existence and possible function of the anterolateral ligament
(ALL) has reinvigorated interest in rotational control of the knee joint. This is particularly true …

Purpose The presence of anterolateral ligament of the knee is still controversial, and some
physicians prefer to call this structure anterolateral complex (ALC) to infer plural nature of …

Patellofemoral instability is usually initially treated non-operatively. Surgery is considered in
patients with recurrent patellar dislocation, and after a first-time patellar dislocation in the …

Introduction Despite the recognized importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in
rotational stability of the knee, some studies still deny its role and even its existence. We …
