Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) attempts to restore native ACL function. Persistent anterolateral instability is a common symptom after ACLR that can lead to worse patient outcomes. Additional surgeries, like anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR), can augment the ACL graft and help increase anterolateral rotational stability. Certain indications for ACLR with ALLR include high-grade pivot shift, increased posterior tibial slope (>12°), revision ACLR, and concomitant ligamentous or meniscal injuries. We describe an anatomic ALLR technique using an 8 cm long × 1 cm wide strip of the inferior aspect of the iliotibial band fixed at the native attachment sites of the ALL.
