The anterolateral ligament: Anatomic implications for its reconstruction

In order to get an anatomical reconstruction with favorable isometry, it is recommended that the ALL femoral graft is implanted posterior and slightly proximal to the epicondyle. It is also suggested that the tension be adjusted by fixing the graft between 0 and 30° of flexion, being tighter near extension. This will allow good rotational stability without implying any stiffness.
