All-Onlay Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Technique of the Knee.

ABSTRACT: The anterolateral ligament has gained attention as a secondary stabilizer of anterolateral rotatory stability of the knee. This has had implications among sports medicine specialists as an adjunct procedure with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to improve stability. As indications have evolved for its use as an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction augment, so have the techniques for reconstruction. As such, we present a simple, efficient, and reproducible technique for all-onlay reconstruction with low-profile instrumentation that mitigates concerns for tunnel convergence.
