摘要

Several biomechanical studies have demonstrated the importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in rotational instability of the knee.~( 1 , 10 , 12 , 14 )Despite this, the precise role of the ALL in eliminating the pivot shift remains controversial.~( 9 , 11 , 13 )This disparity exists secondary to the nature of cadaveric research and the subsequent creation of artificial injury patterns that are not a true representation of in vivo characteristics. This case report provides clinical evidence of the important role that the anterolateral structure plays in anterolateral rotational instability, as demonstrated by the pivot-shift sign. Case Presentation A 17-year-old female volleyball player presented to the emergency department after a noncontact injury of the left knee sustained during the impact of landing from a jump. She reported that she heard a “crack” and experienced immediate pain and swelling in the knee. Physical examination revealed a moderate effusion, a 0° to 80° range of motion, and a grade 2 Lachman test. The pivot-shift test could not be reliably performed due to pain and subsequent muscular contraction. Plain radiographs showed no evidence of a bony injury. The patient underwent 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which confirmed the clinical diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and revealed characteristic bone bruising of the lateral femoral condyle. Even though no ALL or anterolateral capsule lesion was reported by the radiologist, it was possible to identify abnormalities of the ALL according to previously reported imaging parameters of this structure~( 5 )( Figure 1A ). Figure 1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical images of the left knee. (A) Coronal (proton-density, fat-suppressed) MRI demonstrating a tear of the anterolateral ligament/capsule (arrow). (B-D) Clinical photographs of the lateral aspect of the same knee (all images are oriented with the most distal part of the limb to the left). (B) Intact iliotibial band (ITB) (*). (C) Tear of the anterolateral capsule identified after ITB split in line with its fibers (*). (D) Repaired anterolateral capsule. The patient was admitted to the hospital for an ACL reconstruction, which was performed 5 days after the injury. Examination under general anesthesia revealed a full range of motion, positive Lachman test, and grade 2 pivot shift (see the online Video Supplement). Varus and valgus stress tests were both negative at 0° and 30° of flexion. The semitendinosus and gracilis tendons were harvested for the ACL graft. Due to the presence of a grade 2 pivot shift and suspicion of injury to the anterolateral structures, the lateral compartment was approached by a hockey stick incision. After skin flaps were lifted, the fascia lata was confirmed to be completely normal, with no visible tear, bruise, or hematoma ( Figure 1B ). It was then incised, in line with its fibers, to reveal heavily blood-stained synovial fluid exiting the joint via a 1-cm-wide lesion of the anterolateral capsule ( Figure 1C ). The lesion was repaired by 3 parallel stitches with square knots (No. 2 Vicryl; Ethicon) in tension with the knee at 90° of flexion and neutral rotation ( Figure 1D ). Physical examination was repeated prior to ACL reconstruction and revealed the continued presence of a positive Lachman test but a complete resolution of the pivot shift, in contrast to the grade 2 pivot shift present prior to repair of the anterolateral capsule and ligament. Arthroscopic evaluation showed normal medial and lateral menisci and a grade 3, midlevel ACL rupture. ACL reconstruction was then performed with a doubled hamstring tendon graft (size 8 mm). An 8-mm tibial tunnel was drilled at the center of the native footprint with a guide set at 60°. An 8 × 25–mm femoral socket was drilled with an outside-in technique (flip cutter; Arthrex). The center was located at the anatomic insertion of the ACL, midway between the “resident’s ridge” and the posterior wall of the femoral condyle. The graft was passed through the joint via a suture loop, retrieved through the tibial tunnel, and fixed on the femoral side with a TightRope RT adjustable-loop cortical button (Arthrex) and on the tibial side with an absorbable biocomposite 9 × 28-mm interference screw (Arthrex) fixed in 30° of flexion with a posterior drawer applied. After ACL reconstruction, the physical examination was repeated. Both Lachman and pivot-shift tests were negative. The fascia lata was sutured, and the skin was closed. No drain was used. A long leg brace was applied with the limb placed in extension, and the brace remained in situ for 2 weeks. On postoperative day 2, isometric exercises for quadriceps contraction and muscular strengthening were commenced. Progression to weightbearing as tolerated was encouraged. After 2 weeks, the brace was removed and full active range of motion was encouraged. Activities were increased in physical therapy and progressed to resistance isotonic
