The drawer test is performed with the hip flexed to 45 degrees and the knee to 90 degrees. The anterior drawer test is performed by pulling the tibia forward. This maneuver has been said to test whether the anterior cruciate ligament is intact. ... With the tibia in neutral [rotation], a positive anterior drawer test in which the lateral tibial plateau subluxes forward while the medial stays in normal position represents anterolateral rotatory instability. ... If the subluxation is not present with the tibia internally rotated, the posterior cruciate ligament is intact. A positive anterior drawer test with the leg in external rotation represents a tear of the medial capsular ligament.
