The Relationship Between The Anterolateral Ligament And The Lateral Meniscus, Gillian Corbo
Masters of Clinical Anatomy Projects
The anterolateral ligament (ALL) has recently been of interest due to the belief that it plays a role in controlling anterolateral rotational laxity. However, the relationship of the ALL andits attachment to the lateral meniscus has yet to be addressed. Firstly this investigation determined the effect that sectioning the ALL and lateral meniscus posterior root (LMPR) in an ACL deficient knee has on internal rotation. Secondly this research determined if differences exist in the mechanical properties of the supra- and infra- meniscal fibers of the ALL. The ALL was found to control internal rotation at higher degrees of knee flexion, …
