Drawer Test, Anterior
| Orthopedic Test | Drawer Test, Anterior |
| Method | The subject lies supine with the test hip flexed to 45 degrees, knee flexed to 90 degrees, and the foot in a neutral position. The examiner sits on the subject's foot with both hands behind the subject's proximal tibia and thumbs on the tibial plateau. An anterior force is then applied to the proximal tibia. Increased anterior tibial displacement as compared to the uninvolved side is indicative of a partial or complete tear of the ACL. |
| Diagnosis Indication | Sprain of anterior cruciate ligament of unspecified knee, initial encounter |
| ICD9 | 844.2 |
