Lachman ACL test (positive)

One of the better tests to assess the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament. In this case the patient had undergone an ACL reconstruction one year prior, but has been having some issues with knee slippage and buckling. It may be due to some damage to the graft, or she may have had a "loose" graft to begin with, and quad/hip strength may be an issue.
Thanks to Blair for letting us borrow her knee to demonstrate a 'positive' Lachman test.

Yea unfortunately most ACL grafts will loosen over time. That't why is important to exercise the leg to build muscle and prevent injury.

Good video, but isn't an empty end-feel when the pt doesn't let you perform the test to end of range ? Isn't the end-feel in the video rather a soft end-feel?

Could still possibly have a full acl tear even when this test doesn’t show positive?

Yes, Lachman test has a sensitivity of around 77-87%, so there's a 13-23% chance of a false negative. Best to combine with complete subjective and objective assessment

I'd have to be unconscious for this

I know this is years old, but I just had it done to me (that's why I looked it up) and it doesn't hurt at all. It feels normal (which freaked me out since I knew a knee isn't supposed to do that)

It doesn't hurt to be fair. The only time it hurt is when that son of a bitch doctor bent my whole knee. I cried in pain and he was like yeah, let's get an MRI now, only then will I be able to diagnose it correctly. MF If you wanted the MRI then why the hell did you even bother to send me slithering in pain? Now I'm 15 days past the ACL rupture and can't even walk yet. I can't bend my knee more than 30 degrees. I'll get surgery next month so hopefully I return to playing football asap
