The moving valgus stress test, described by O’Driscoll et al, 11 was found to be 100% sensitive and 75% specific for MCL injuries. The test is performed with the patient upright; the shoulder is placed in 90° of abduction and maximal external rotation with the elbow in maximal flexion.
The valgus stress test, also known as the medial stress test, is used to assess the integrity of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee. MCL injuries are common in the athletic population and can occur as either isolated injuries, or combined with other structural injuries [1].

The valgus and varus stress tests are specialized maneuvers used to assess the stability of the knee joint. The valgus stress test focuses on the MCL by applying an outward force to the knee, while the varus stress test targets the LCL by applying an inward force.
