The Lachman test is a passive accessory movement test of the knee performed to identify the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The test is designed to assess single and sagittal plane instability.
24 lip 2023 · The Lachman test is widely regarded as the most useful test for diagnosing an acute ACL injury and should be used in conjunction with the pivot shift test and anterior drawer test for assessing ACL integrity.
31 mar 2024 · ACL tears are common athletic injuries leading to anterior and lateral rotatory instability of the knee. Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with presence of a traumatic knee effusion with increased laxity on Lachman's test but requires MRI studies to confirm diagnosis.
27 paź 2023 · A vertical Lachman test will show greater laxity compared to the contralateral side. Treatment is rest, NSAIDs, taping, stiff-sole shoe, or walking boot in the majority of cases. Surgical repair is indicated for patients with progressive and persistent symptoms who fail nonoperative management.
21 lut 2024 · This article aims to delve into the enduring significance of the Lachman test, exploring its unmatched value in ACL injury diagnostics, while also acknowledging how innovations like the DYNEELAX® and GNRB® arthrometers contribute to a more comprehensive assessment of knee ligament injuries.
1 mar 2004 · The Lachman test is the most reliable clinical test for diagnosing rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It is generally believed that the lateral side contributes more than the medial side to anterior tibial translation, but this has never been convincingly proven.
Lachman’s test is the most sensitive examination test for ACL injury. The anterior cruciate ligament is located in front of the knee. The ACL keeps the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur and provides rotational stability to the knee.
