Title: Lever Sign for ACL tears<br/>Author: Brian Corwell<br/><a href='http://umem.org/profiles/faculty/294/'>[Click to email author]</a><hr/><p>
<span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Lever Sign/Lelli’s test</strong></span></p>
<p>
A new test for diagnosing ACL tears</p>
<p>
Higher sensitivity (94 - 100%) than the Lachman test (highest sensitivity test to date)</p>
<p>
With time and more study, this may become our new gold standard physical examination test</p>
<p>
Very easy to learn and apply to bedside care</p>
<p>
Can help with diagnosing partial tears</p>
<p>
Area of manipulation is the femur and not the tibia (as in other tests)</p>
<p>
Consider incorporating into your standard knee examination</p>
