Abstract
Indications for combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction are not well defined, and the role of ligamentous hyperlaxity on anterolateral rotatory instability in an ACL-deficient knee remains unclear. Possible indications for combine ACL and ALL reconstruction might be a high-grade pivot shift, revision ACL reconstruction, patients with proven anterolateral knee pathology on preoperative imaging, and young patients participating in high-demand sport, and perhaps, finally, patients with ligamentous hyperlaxity as above.
