Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The purpose of the squeeze test is to aid in the diagnosis of syndesmotic ankle sprains.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
The squeeze test compresses the proximal fibula against the tibia to assess the integrity of the bones, interosseus membrane, and syndesmotic ligaments. Pain occurs with fracture or diastasis and is considered positive[1].
