Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Fitzgerald test utilises two different test positions to determine if the patient has an anterior or posterior labral tear.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Anterior labrum
The patient lies supine while the physical therapist (PT) performs flexion, external rotation, and full abduction of the hip, followed by hip extension, internal rotation, and adduction[1][2].
Posterior labrum
The patient lies supine while the PT performs passive extension, abduction and external rotation from a fully flexed, internally rotated and adducted hip[1][2].
The test is considered to be positive if pain is produced with or without an audible click[1] [2].
Sensitivity and specificity[edit | edit source]
The Fitzgerald test has been shown to have a sensitivity of between 0.98 and 1.00[1][2]. The specificity is unknown[1][2].
