Abstract
Articles on the anterolateral ligament have generated lots of discussion, but a worldwide consensus has been recently reached: the anterolateral ligament exists. Cadaver studies on a small number of subjects should not be used to draw conclusions as they do not replicate real life. We place our faith in clinical studies with a large number of patients as they capture the variability encountered in our practices. This is the true test of a scientific concept.
