Video Summary
In this instructional presentation, Adnan Saifner and Bertrand-Henri Cote explain the surgical procedure for Anterolateral Ligament (ALL) reconstruction in conjunction with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The presentation underscores the clinical benefits of adding ALL reconstruction, which reduces graft rupture rates. The technique assumes anatomical placement to replicate normal knee kinematics without over-constraining the knee. Two methods are discussed: an independent approach using separate tunnels for ACL and ALL, and a combined approach using a single femoral tunnel to minimize the risk of tunnel collision. Key tips include ensuring correct graft length, using careful drilling techniques, and confirming graft tension to avoid over-constraint. Proper anatomical placement ensures the knee's normal biomechanics, emphasizing that the graft should be tight in extension but lax in flexion.
