Recently, researchers have been exploring the biomechanical role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL), a secondary ligament of the knee that plays a role in rotatory stability. The Segond fracture, frequently observed on plain radiographs in an acute ACL injury, is believed to be a sign of ALL involvement as well [
