- 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
