A member asked:
I've had a positive anterior drawer test on my right ankle. my ankle is painful (for a few years) but mri shows no tear. what could cause a + test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic instability: If you've rolled your ankle several times, or, if you were just born that way, you can end up with an unstable ankle - even if the ligaments are intact. It's a problem that is best addressed by an orthopedic surgeon if you want it fixed. Best of luck!
