When compared to McMurray, medial joint line tenderness and lateral joint line tenderness in a study from 2016, the Thessaly test was found reliable[6]. [2], A clinician should suspect an injury to the meniscus when a patient presents with knee pain, particularly after a twisting type of injury when the foot is firmly planted on the ground. Anterior Drawer Test – ligamentous stability Bounce Home Test – meniscal or pathology Apley’s Compression/Grinding Test – meniscal or pathology Apprehension Sign Lachman Test – ligamentous stability McMurray’s Test – meniscal tear or pathology Noble Compression Test Patellar Grind Test The examiner laterally and medially rotates the tibia, combined first with distraction, while noting any excessive movement, restriction or discomfort.
Thessaly test video provided by Clinically Relevant, In his original study from 2005, Karachalios [1] found the following statistics for his test: Thessaly Test at 5°. Physiopedia is not a substitute for professional advice or expert medical services from a qualified healthcare provider. The uninjured leg is tested first so that the patient may be trained with regard to how to keep the knee in the flexed position. Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, 2007; 37(9), 541-50. Diagnosis of a meniscal injury by physical exam and special tests, including Apley’s grind test and Apley’s distraction test, in conjunction with advanced imaging, can guide a physician to provide the correct course of treatment. The Apley's grind test (Apley Compression test) is used to evaluate individuals for problems of the meniscus in the knee. "[6] This group of injuries encompasses damage to the medial meniscus or lateral meniscus with concomitant injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL).

For a diagnosis to be made a full physical exam, provocative tests, including Apley's Grind test and Apley's Distraction test, alongside advanced imaging such as MRI. A tear in the meniscus may cause a pedunculated tag of the meniscus … The meniscofemoral ligament connects the meniscus to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Operative repair of a torn meniscus is often indicated for peripheral tears because of rich blood supply.

2001; 50:938-944. However, the McMurray and Apley tests were found by others to have less than 75% sensitivity for diagnosing meniscal tears[8]. The leg is rotated quickly to and fro. These include flap tear, radial tear, horizontal cleavage, bucket handle tear, longitudinal tear, and degenerative tear. In more recent studies [3][4][5] from 2015, the Thessaly test has been found to be no better than other tests such as the McMurray test and Apley's Test. The Thessaly test is a dynamic reproduction of joint loading in the knee and the theory behind the test is that the knee with a meniscal tear will produce the same symptoms the patient reported. The cartilage structure of the meniscus acts as a cushion or shock absorber for the knee joint.

There are three ligaments which attach to the meniscus. When clicks are felt at the joint line, a ruptured
Meniscal provocation tests: Nigel will perform these tests to determine if a tear is present. [2] There is a higher prevalence amongst males than females, which is assumed to be related to males engaging in more activities that create rotational injuries (contact sports). Conservative management or surgical repair is heavily dependent on the individual case characteristics. Christopher Norris.
