Successful treatment of anterolateral ligament tear of the knee with ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma injection: A case report
Type 1 and type 2 anterolateral ligament (ALL) or meniscocapsular tears are frequently treated conservatively. However, the initiation of the healing process of these tears could take up to six weeks, and about 70 of acute ALL injuries demonstrated poor healing at the 1-year follow-up. This case rep...
