The lateral pivot shift test of McIntosh. The examiner lifts the foot of the extended, internally rotated leg with one hand, forces the knee into valgus with the other hand by pushing on the side of the calf, and slowly flexes the knee while maintaining the valgus stress. In a positive test a "subluxation snap"... will occur at about 30-40°. The test is positive in the presence of anterior cruciate insufficiency. 1, record 1, English, - pivot%20shift%20test%20of%20McIntosh

Manœuvre destinée à évaluer l'insuffisance du croisé antérieur. Le genou étant en extension, l'examinateur applique à la cheville une contrainte en rotation interne du tibia pour relâcher la capsule interne, pendant que l'autre main exerce une pression à la face postéro-externe du genou tout en le fléchissant, ajoutant ainsi une contrainte en valgus avec composante subluxante antérieure du compartiment externe du tibia. La manœuvre est considérée comme positive si elle produit un ressaut ressenti par le malade et l'examinateur entre 20° et 30° de flexion. 2, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20de%20McIntosh

In the jerk test of Hughston, the examiner flexes the knee to about 60°, grasps and internally rotates the distal tibia, and with his other hand applies a valgus stress to the knee. He then gradually extends the knee, maintaining the internal rotation and valgus pressure. The femoral condyle remains behind the summit of the plateau until, at about 20-30° flexion, the tightening posterior structures of the popliteus corner pull the tibial plateau back, and the subluxation relocates with a jerk. This test is positive in essentially the same injuries as the lateral pivot shift test of McIntosh... 1, record 2, English, - jerk%20test
