Video Summary
The speaker emphasizes the crucial role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in achieving optimal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction outcomes. Historically recognized but often debated, recent studies confirm ALL as a normal knee structure, frequently injured alongside ACL tears. Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction reduces knee instability, lowers graft failure rates, and protects meniscal repairs compared to isolated ACL surgery. Unlike non-anatomic lateral tenodesis, ALL reconstruction avoids past complications like stiffness or pain. Additionally, combined reconstruction improves return-to-sport levels, especially in revision cases. Overall, incorporating ALL reconstruction enhances knee stability and long-term surgical success.
