Abstract
The anterolateral complex (ALC) of the knee has gained increased interest over the last decades due to the high revision rates of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Furthermore, in patients with an ACL tear, the injury of at least one of the ALC’s anatomic structures has been shown to be significantly higher, thus affecting its secondary stabilizing role at the knee joint. As such, ACLR augmentation techniques, that embrace the ALC, have been proposed recently, and indications for these procedures are still evolving. This review aims to present and discuss the most current anatomical, biomechanical, and imaging data, current reconstruction techniques, and the clinical results of ALC reconstruction.
