Introduction[edit | edit source]
Steinman test is done to diagnose meniscal pathology at the knee joint.The test is divided into 2 parts i.e Steinman part 1 and Steinman part 2 or Steinman's tenderness displacement test. This test is useful to distinguish meniscal pathology from injury to the ligament or osteophytes[1].
Procedure[edit | edit source]

- The patient is sitting on the edge of the table, with the knee hanging over at 90 degrees of flexion, Or the patient is lying on the bed supine with the examiner holding the knee at 90 degrees of flexion.
- The tibia is rotated laterally then medially.
- The test is positive if lateral pain is elicited on medial rotation and medial pain is elicited on lateral rotation.
