Background: The anterolateral ligament (ALL) was discovered in 1879. For over 130 years, this anatomical structure did not enjoy much attention, but the situation started to change when a number of researchers described its contribution to the rotational stability of the knee joint. Purpose of the study: To estimate the occurrence of the ALL and describe the aspects of its anatomy that should be factored into the outcome of stabilizing surgeries of the knee joint. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in 60 knee specimens of 30 unfixed human cadavers. Once the anterolateral ligament was identified, we assessed its relationships with the body of the lateral meniscus, the lateral collateral ligament to which it is attached mainly by connective tissue fibers, and the lateral inferior genicular blood vessels. We also identified ALL attachment points on the lateral epicondyle of the femur and the lateral condyle of the tibia. Results: ALL has been identified in 56.6[%] of the dissect
