The test has to be performed as follows:
- Ask the patient to sit on a table with his legs dangling over the edge.
- Bend the patient’s knee so that it is flexed at a 90° angle.
- Grasp the patient’s foot and bring the tibia in internally rotation.
- Instruct the patient to extend his leg until he/she feels pain.
The test is positive when the patient reports pain in the knee about 30° from full extension. Then, the pain disappears by rotating the foot back (external rotation of the tibia) in its normal position.
Hint*: This indicates Osteochondritis dissecans
