Although ACL injuries are a common condition and the topic produces a tremendous amount of research, we still do not sufficiently understand the pathomechanics of the ACL-deficient knee, nor its complex interplay with the surrounded capsuloligamentous structures. How else can we explain why some patients function adequately without reconstruction while others have recurring episodes of instability [
4], or why some of us reconstruct the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in most primary ACL reconstructions [
10], whereas others do not? …
