• Evaluating the anterolateral ligament with MRI in acute anterior cruciate ligament injuries is useful to predict higher grades of pivot shift test in the moment of the arthroscopic reconstruction. • An abnormal anterolateral ligament presented an odds ratio of 55 for high degrees of pivot shift. • ALL MRI abnormalities association with knee instability is independent from other internal knee injuries.
