Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The purpose of this test is to detect anterolateral rotary instability of the knee. Structures compromised if this test is positive could be the ACL, LCL, posterolateral capsule, arcuate complex and ITB.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
The patient lies supine with legs relaxed. The examiner grasps the heel of the involved leg with examiners opposite hand placed laterally on the proximal tibia just distal to the knee. The examiner then applies a valgus stress while internally rotating the tibia as the knee is moved into flexion from a fully extended position1.
