A test used to determine the extent of injuries to the knee. With the patient lying prone and the knee flexed to a right angle, the leg is grasped, pushed toward the knee joint, and axially rotated [grinding test]. Pain is elicited at the knee joint if a meniscal tear is present. Conversely, if the leg is lifted away from the knee joint along its axis, pain is elicited in lesions of the collateral ligaments [distraction test].
