“…The cadaveric studies are scarce which described bodyside/laterality and sex-based difference in the global population. Of note, our results for sex-based differences contrast the available reports that described a significantly shorter ALL in females 31 , 32 .…”

Literature is highly inconsistent in describing the proximal attachment of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) and its relationship with the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in human knees. This observational study aims to investigate that lacuna. The gross dissection was performed in the lower limbs (n = 83) from the donated adult-age (> 18 years) embalmed cadavers from medical institutions in the north and east India. The dissected knee specimens were first examined macroscopically. Further routine and special staining and microscopic examinations were performed. The ALL was absent in approximately 20.4% of the studied knee specimens (17/83). In remaining, the sharing of ALL and LCL proximal fibers was observed as a consistent finding (~ 97%) with rare exceptions. The mean length of the tibial and meniscal limbs of ALL was 1.57 ± 0.8 cm [Range (R) 0.5–4 cm] and 0.73 ± 0.47 cm [Range (R) 0.1–1.6 cm], respectively. In addition, multiple variations in its presentation were observed. We propose that the proximal sharing of LCL-ALL fibers is a dominant feature in the studied population. The sharing of the fibers may impact the biomechanics and injury mechanisms for both ligaments. The possibility of ethnic variations in the ALL morphology should be a concern during reconstruction surgery.

“…The ALL runs distally, some bres attach to the lateral meniscus and the anterolateral aspect of the joint capsule (meniscal attachment), yet the majority of bres attaches to the proximal portion of the tibia (tibial attachment), dorsally to the tubercle of the iliotibial tract (4-7 mm below the articular cleft line) [82]. Ariel de Lima et al [5] showed in their literature review that the length of the ALL varies between 33 mm and 42 mm, it is signi cantly shorter in females and has a correlation with patients' height [40]. Width of the ALL ranges from 4 mm to 7 mm, its thickness varies between 1 and 2 mm and it is signi cantly thicker in males [15].…”

Purpose The aim of present study is to extend the sections of Terminologia Anatomica (TA) concerning anterolateral knee structures and reveal the clinical, educational and sceintific importance of using that newly proposed anatomical terms. Methods Anatomical terms were gathered both from anatomical textbooks and journals. Samples were compared with the last addition of the official Latin anatomical nomenclature. Proposed terms have indicated on a black and white picture and cadaveric dissection photographs from archive. Results The authors proposed 12 new terms which are often used clinical medicine, textboks and scientific articles. Those terms were summarised and are presented with their definitions and explanations on behalf of constant and variable morphological structures. Conclusions There are numerous studies according to anterolateral complex of knee in the literature. Consideration of clinical importance and increasing remarks in literature, the potential of the proposed anatomical terms should be discussed concerning for adding into the next addition of the TA.
