Dr Mark Hutchinson is
presenting how to perform the Pivot - Shift test. The Pivot - Shift test is an
orthopedic test used for examining the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the
knee for patients where there is a suspicion of a torn ACL. Along with the
Lachman test, the pivot shift test has been reported in the literatureto have
high sensitivity and specificity in ACL tear examination. The pivot shift is
able to assess the rotatory component of knee laxity and appears to have the
potential to become a benchmark in gauging the success of ACL surgery.
