Pivot Shift test for Knee Instability

The patient lies supine while the examiner grasps the leg by the foot.  While applying a valgus stress and an axial load to the foot, the examiner internally rotates the tibia while flexing then extending the knee.
The test is positive if there is subluxation of the tibia relative to the femur, indicating likely ACL Injury.

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. 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #McMurrays #Test #Meniscal #Tear #Meniscus #Knee #clinical #video #physicalexam #msk #orthopedics #sports

Lachman Test for ACL Injury The patient lies supine and with the knee in ~20-30 degrees of flexion, hip in slight external rotation. One hand supports the thigh and the other grasps the tibia with the thumb on the tibial tuberosity, pulling anteriorly. The test is positive if there is anterior translation of the tibia relative to the other side. 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #Lachman #Test #ACL #Injury #Anterior #Cruciate #Ligament #clinical #video #physicalexam #msk #orthopedics #sports

Pivot-Shift Test in ACL-deficient Knee This patient has pathologic varus alignment across the knee and a chronic ACL tear. We will be performing a high-tibial osteotomy (HTO) to correct his alignment and an ACL reconstruction to restore stability to the knee.

Anterior Drawer Test for PCL Injury on Knee Examination The patient lays supine with the knee approximately 90 degrees of flexion. The examiner sits on the patient's toes to stabilize the leg while applying an anterior translational force on the proximal tibia. The test is positive for PCL tear if there is excess anterior tibial translation. 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #Anterior #Drawer #Test #Cruciate #Ligament #PCL #Injury #Tear #knee #clinical #video #physicalexam #orthopedics #msk #sports

Apley Distraction Test on Knee Examination With the patient prone, the knee being tested is flexed to 90 degrees while the other leg is fully extended. The examiner applies a distraction force on the leg, while applying internal and external rotation. The distraction reduces the force applied to the meniscus. Pain is indicative of a ligamentous rather than meniscal injury (seen with compression test). 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #Apley #Distraction #Test #Knee #PhysicalExam #clinical #video #orthopedics #msk #sports

Apley Compression Test on Knee Examination With the patient prone, the knee being tested is flexed to 90 degrees while the other leg is fully extended. The examiner applies an axial compression force on the leg, while applying internal and external rotation. Pain is indicative of meniscal injury. This test is usually performed along with the Apley Distraction test (for ligamentous injury). 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #Apley #Compression #Test #meniscal #meniscus #Knee #PhysicalExam #clinical #video #orthopedics #msk #sports

 Anterior Drawer Test for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury on Knee Examination The Anterior Drawer Test
Anterior Drawer Test for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury on Knee Examination The Anterior Drawer Test assesses for a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). With the knee flexed at 90 degrees and the foot planted on the table, pull the proximal tibia anteriorly. Excessive motion or a soft endpoint is a positive test.
