awesome explanation. in ortho, we need demonstration to understand a test and this video makes my knee examination easier. While my friends still getting confused as they memories words instead of video. I ask them to watch in utube, too bad nobody wants to. They prefer books.

Sensitivity ~26% and specificity ~94%

Search "A review of the McMurray test: definition, interpretation, and clinical usefulness." in PubMed

@coreybrooks,

Putting the joint into Varus stress (bow leg) is specific to the medial meniscus. The physician, whom im guessing is an orthopedist, is absolutely correct. Varus and valgus refer to the direction of the joint, not the direction of the force applied. In Varus stress the tibia is directed towards the midline, the opposite is true of Valgus stress (knock knee).

These videos are hugely helpful to my MT training. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

[coreybrooks618]

You apply VALGUS stress, not Varus. Otherwise, great video!

[338888]

@coreybrooks618 It is varus. anyway, this whole varus valgus thing is confusing. Just remember in knee, joint/force away from midline, is varus. anything towards midline is valgus. Same goes to ankle deformity.

finally i found my diagnosis

[WonkyDoodle]

you havent said how to differentiate between medial and lateral meniscus tears? I thought medial meniscus tears required internal rotatation and varus stress???

[TheDannylau]

you explained this VERY WELL

[pluto1969]

how long after a knee dislocation should you wait before performing this test? Pain and swelling after a dislocation can last 7-12 days or so

Thanks in advance

Thank you so much! I was looking for an explanation of this, and couldn't find anything very effective in my textbook. This completely cleared things up.

[trustopinion]

would you be able to walk with any ligament tear in the knee? thanks.

[Gerrit0078328321]

medial meniscus test should have external rotation of the foot

[vips4777]

thanks dis is very useful

[koimaster]

very useful. Thanks

[GoldenoSkyo]

thanks, very useful videos : )

[jonrock757]

combine this with an appelys test and joint line tenderness and locking in flexion and then you MIGHT have meniscal damage, possibly, maybe.

[fatamorganaa84]

Great video, thanks alot :)

[paldentsegalyz]

good

[midwifekathy]

I've done a lot of You Tube searches for ortho exams and Dr. Hutchinson's series is the best for the knee. Thanks so much. Please do the shoulder! I won't criticize your model like these other jerkos. Thanks
