McMurray's Test for Meniscal Tear on Knee Examination

With the patient lying supine, the examiner palpates the meniscal joint line while manipulating and rotating the leg from the ankle/foot. 
 - To assess the lateral meniscus, the leg is internally rotated while applying a varus stress.
 - To assess the medial meniscus, the leg is externally rotated while applying a valgus stress.
Pain, clicking, locking or snapping can indicate a meniscal injury.
