Studies continue to demonstrate the importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) as a secondary restraint in rotational stability of the knee. No clinical exam exists to reliably test the ALL. Advanced imaging allows the surgeon to reliably identify the ALL as an independent structure of the lateral knee. This technique paper provides a reproducible method for identification of the ALL on 3T magnetic resonance imaging based on previously conducted cadaveric dissections of the ligament.
研究不断证明前外侧韧带(ALL)作为膝关节旋转稳定性的次要约束的重要性。目前尚无可靠检测ALL的临床检查方法。先进的成像技术使外科医生能够可靠地将ALL识别为膝关节外侧的一个独立结构。本技术论文基于此前对该韧带进行的尸体解剖,提供了一种在3T磁共振成像上识别ALL的可重复方法。
