大概翻譯：比利時魯汶大學的兩名外科醫師 Steven Claes、Johan Bellemans
          發現了人體的一個新組織，位於膝蓋的一條韌帶 →  http://goo.gl/60MDCi 
          取名為 anterolateral ligament（ALL）           解剖圖

          最早提起這條韌帶的人是1879年的法國外科醫師 Paul Segond
          但從那時到現在，一直沒有清楚的解剖報告。

          Steven Claes、Johan Bellemans 兩人共解剖了41具屍體，
          在其中40具屍體的膝蓋發現有 ALL 這條韌帶的存在。
          並發表於 Journal of Anatomy → http://goo.gl/UcwT41

          這次的發現將有助於未來對 ACL（前十字韌帶）受傷的治療
          ALL 與 ACL 之間，或許有關聯性。

舊金山紀事報原文：

Two Belgian surgeons have discovered a new ligament in the human knee, a part
they are calling the anterolateral ligament, or ALL.

The previously unknown piece of tissue, recently described in the journal of
Anatomy, was first mentioned by French surgeon Paul Segond in 1879.

According to the study, Segond noted the existence of a "pearly, resistant,
fibrous brand," but until now, no clear anatomical description had been
provided.

Steven Claes and Johan Bellemans from the University of Leuven decided to look
into this theory as part of their research on ACL injuries, one of the most
common knee injuries to affect athletes.

The doctors dissected 41 knees from human cadavers and found an ALL in all but
one of the knees.

Given its structure and location in the knee, the researchers think that the
ALL affects the pivot shift of the knee — a condition in which the knee gives
out during physical activity even after surgery to repair an ACL tear. This
could mean that pivot shift is actually caused by an injury in the ALL.

More research is needed to confirm this hypothesis, but the finding could help
for future treatment of ACL injuries.

     大家一起來，召喚拎北骨科大大！！
    我比較好奇的是，解剖41具屍體，40具有發現
    沒發現的那一具，是發生了什麼事.....
  應該是以前就知道存在吧?
  這次是正式給它一個名稱並有清楚的解剖報告
  這樣理解不知道對不對?
