Knee exam
An attending physician demonstrates knee exam techniques, inspecting the biomechanics of the knee and assessing for effusion, wasting, or hypertension. The physician performs tests for the integrity of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments, damage to the cruciate ligaments (Lackman test, Drawer test, Pivot shift test), tests of the patella (patella apprehension test, Clarke test), and tests of the iliotibial band (Ober test).
