MRI examinations were all performed on 1.5 T scans. The ALL was defined as the low signal band originating from the region of the lateral epicondyle of the femur, crossing the proximal surface of the lateral collateral ligament, deep to the iliotibial band, and inserting onto the tibia between the Gerdy's tubercle and the fibular head.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Twenty-six patients met the eligibility criteria and were enrolled into the study. In one patient, it was not possible to visualize the ALL. In all the other subjects, the ligament originated anterior and distal to the lateral epicondyle and inserted on the proximal tibia approximately 5\u2009mm below the joint line and just distal to the Gerdy's tubercle. It had an average length of 33\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2\u2009mm, an average width of 5.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3\u2009mm, and an average thickness of 2 mm.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003The ALL is a distinct structure of the anterolateral capsule that can be easily identified using 1.5 T MRI scans.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Level of Evidence\u2003This is a level IV, observational study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1675163","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,2]],"date-time":"2018-11-02T19:39:44Z","timestamp":1541187584000},"page":"153-156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Assessment of the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee by Magnetic Resonance Imaging"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"06","author":[{"given":"Angelo","family":"De Carli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedic Unit and \u201cKirk Kilgour\u201d Sports Injury, S.
