Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The purpose of the varus stress test of the elbow is to assess the integrity of lateral collateral ligament.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
With the patient standing, the therapist places the patient's elbow in slight flexion while palpating the humeroulnar joint line. The therapist then applies a varus force to the elbow. This test is considered positive if the patient experiences pain or excessive laxity is noted compared to the contralateral side.[1] The test can be repeated in varying degrees of elbow flexion, but generally it is positioned between 5 and 30 degrees.[2]
