reverse pivot shift Test
- Discussion:
- begins w/ the knee in flexion while a valgus stress and internal
rotation force are applied;
- thumb pushes the tibia forward, and the clunk of reduction is felt as
knee approaches full extension;
- subluxation of the lateral femorotibial articulation becomes
maximum at about 30 deg of flexion, then as the knee extends
further, spontaneous relocation occurs;
- relocation takes the form of a sudden jerk;
