Significance. Labral Tear: The test is particularly useful for identifying superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions. Instability: Helps in diagnosing shoulder instability, especially in athletes [4]. [5] Evidence. The sensitivity and specificity of the Clunk Test has been reported by only one study [6].
In normal hips, stability is increased by the everted labrum. However, the test is considered positive when a ‘clunk’ (or instability) is felt as the femoral head dislocates (Barlow maneuver) or relocates (Ortolani maneuver). However, clicks felt during the clinical examination have no clinical significance .
A clunk or grinding noise or sensation indicates a positive test. Interpretation: Tear in the glenoid labrum : Common errors in performing exam: The most common error in performing this exam is the examiner not correctly applying the appropriate degrees of passive motion.
