| Summary: | The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the existence of the anterolateral ligament of the knee in the Romanian population. Multiple studies have investigated the anterolateral structures of the knee, but there is some inconsistency regarding the existence of the anterolateral ligament. Materials and methods: A cadaver dissection study was performed on 10 knees (5 left and 5 right), 3 males and 2 females Results: The anterolateral ligament was observed in all 10 knees. The mean length was 32±6mm, the width was 5.1±2 mm, and the thickness at the articular line was 1.1±5 mm. Conclusions: A 100% presence was found, with a slight difference from the length, width, and thickness in other countries, race not being a decisional factor in differences.
