To date, the enigma surrounding this anatomical structure is reflected in confusing names such as \u2018(mid\u2010third) lateral capsular ligament\u2019, \u2018capsulo\u2010osseous layer of the iliotibial band\u2019 or \u2018anterolateral ligament\u2019, and no clear anatomical description has yet been provided. In this study, the presence and characteristics of Segond's \u2018pearly band\u2019, hereafter termed anterolateral ligament (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ALL<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ), was investigated in 41 unpaired, human cadaveric knees.

Its insertion on the anterolateral tibia was grossly located midway between Gerdy's tubercle and the tip of the fibular head, definitely separate from the iliotibial band (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ITB<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ).
