AJSM November 2025 Podcast: Femoral Malpositioning of Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Is a Significant Risk Factor for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Failure

The femoral attachment of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) reported by anatomic studies is posterior and proximal to the lateral femoral epicondyle.   In conclusion, independent ALL reconstruction while performing a percutaneous technique enabled anatomic positioning of the ALL graft in 79% of cases. The femoral malpositioning was correlated with a higher ACL graft rerupture rate but not with a decrease in the functional outcomes.   Click here to read the article.
