Background and Objectives: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is crucial for knee stability, preventing anterior displacement of the tibia and rotation relative to the femur. Despite ACL reconstruction (ACLR), residual instability is common, affecting knee function. Anterolateral ligament reconstr...
