Abstract
A commercially available stress device is described for the radiographic examination of the anterior and posterior drawer in patients with suspected injury to the cruciate ligament. The radiologic Lachman test correlates well with its clinical counterpart and with arthroscopy. Its specific advantages are quantitative documentation of the test results and the selective testing of the anterior and posterior ligaments.Entities:
