Dial Test Knee Examination | PCL Knee Injury
Case description
Orthopedic Knee Surgeon, Dr. Robert F. LaPrade of the Steadman Clinic in Vail, CO, demonstrates a procedure during a Clinical Knee Exam known as a Dial Test Knee Exam. During this exam, the patient lies face up and the knee is passively held in 30 degrees of flexion with the tibia in neutral rotation. It is important for the patient to relax both knees so that they can be manually exorotated by Dr. LaPrade. The test is positive when exorotation is greater than 10 degrees when compared with the contralateral side. This test is used to detect a PCL injury.
