New ligament in the knee discovered

Where's the anterolateral ligament? Strangely, most people have one, but it wasn't named or described as having a different function until now!



This ligament is thought to have a major role in protective function of the ACL, which is a ligament commonly injured in contact sports. The current implications in training and rehab have not yet been researched. You can read more about this discovery here.
