Anatomical Landmark Technique for Femoral Tunnel Placement of Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis.

The anterolateral ligament is a crucial part of the anterolateral complex of the knee, providing rotator stability to the knee and being a primary restraint to tibial internal rotation. Lateral extra-articular tenodesis added to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can reduce pivot shift without sacrificing the range of motion or increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. A 7- to 8-cm longitudinal skin incision is made and a 9.
