A member asked:
Which special tests and manual muscle tests would be used to diagnose a torn acl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically...: Lachman and pivot shift tests are the most accurate tests to assess the acl upon physical exam. Most clinicians are getting away from the anterior drawer, though it is another option. An MRI will confirm the diagnosis.
