Purpose[edit | edit source]
Lever sign test, also known as Lelli’s test, is a test used to diagnose anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture.[1]It can be performed after acute injury without producing much discomfort.[2]
Technique[edit | edit source]
Patient lies supine with fully extended both legs. One fist of clinician is placed under the proximal third of the calf of one leg. Then, with the other hand, a downward force is applied over distal third of the patient’s quadriceps of same leg.[3]
Interpretation[edit | edit source]
Negative test: When the ACL is intact the downward force applied over the quadriceps will cause the heel to rise.
Positive test: With damaged ACL the downward force will cause anterior translation of tibia in relation to the femoral condyle. So, in this case heel will not rise.[3]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Preliminary results suggest almost 100% sensitivity and specificity of Lelli’s test.[1]However, Valsalam et al (2020) found its sensitivity of 85.57%, specificity of 25.00%, PPV of 82.18%, NPV of 30.00%, and accuracy of 73.55%.[4]
