Editorial Commentary: Anatomy of the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee—The Science of Looking for Bigfoot

The anterolateral ligament of the knee continues to create a spirited debate within orthopaedics. This can be traced as far back as 1879, when Segond initially described a “pearly, resistant, fibrous band” of the anterolateral aspect of the knee. More recently, much orthopaedic research has been aimed at not only the clinical significance—but defining its very existence. At times, it seems akin to a modern-day search for Bigfoot—some see it, some do not. The authors of this commentary are becoming less skeptical of the anterolateral ligament's existence but remain in search of its surgical significance.

The Asia Pacific Society for Study of the Aging Male was formed at the successful conclusion of the 1st Asian ISSAM Meeting in Kuala Lumpur in March 2001. Its inauguration was the result of the tremendous interest generated from this Asian Meeting and from the two precedent World Congresses on The Aging Male organized by the International Society for the Study of the Aging Male (ISSAM).
