AANA19 Knee Access Pass-Donnybrook: ALL is Needed for "Perfect" ACL-Michael Donnelly

Donnybrook: ALL is Needed for "Perfect" ACL-Michael Donnelly

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in ACL reconstruction surgeries. The ALL was first discovered in 1879 and has since been recognized as part of normal knee anatomy. Studies have shown that combined ALL and ACL injuries are common, with significant ALL injuries present in a majority of cases. ACL reconstruction surgeries often result in residual instability and graft failure. However, the video highlights that ALL reconstruction can significantly improve knee stability and reduce the risk of re-rupture. Additionally, ALL reconstruction is beneficial in meniscal protection and has higher success rates in revision ACL surgeries.
