title: Editorial Commentary: Studying the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee-Have We Lost Track of Our Main Focus?
abstract: Considerable recent debate has led to a greater understanding of the potential role of the anterolateral structures of the knee in improving the outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Although cadaveric studies have made a very important contribution to our understanding of anatomy, their weakness lies in a difficulty in knowing whether extrapolating biomechanical findings from a laboratory study to the clinical scenario can be valid.
