This technique is useful for the patients complaining of pain in the lateral( outer) aspect of the knee joint. The pain may be due to the superior tibio-fibular joint involvement.

The knee is taken for the flexion, at the same time tibia is taken for external rotation. Once the physiological barrier is reached thrust is applied towards flexion.
