Knee - Special Tests

I was shown how to do the anterior/posterior drawer tests and to test the MCL and LCL. Here are a few more that I had to learn from Dr. Mark Hutchinson =)

1. Lachman's test (anterior cruciate)



2. McMuray's test (medial/lateral meniscal tear)
- looking for a click and pop associated w/ pain



3. Apley's grinding test (meniscal damage)
- pretty much the same as McMurray's except done prone instead of supine



4. Patella tap (large effusions) and Bulge test (small effusions)
- he does the bulge test first and then the tap
