The examiner should ensure that a position of 20° of knee flexion is maintained during varus and valgus maneuvers with the knee flexed, aiming to standardize evaluations and comparisons. Flexing the knee more than the recommended 20° can yield unreliable results.
29 mar 2007 · Results. In the 146 participants (109 women, mean age 70 years, body mass index 30.6 kg/m 2 ), femur-tibia and hip-knee-ankle angles correlated (r = 0.86; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.81, 0.90).
Abstract: Stress radiographs can provide an objective, quantifiable assessment of ligamentous knee injury. Commonly utilized techniques include varus, valgus, and posterior stress radiographs and can be used to augment findings on physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging.
28 paź 2011 · This review analyses the most commonly used tests and signs for knee examination, outlining the correct way to perform the test, the correct interpretation of a positive test and the best management for evaluating an injured knee both in the acute and delayed timing.
hnique is best for assessing anterior, posterior, varus, and valgus knee stability. This review was undertaken to identify the various stress techniques that have been described in the literature for the diagnosis of acute or chronic knee ligament injuries, to compare the accuracy and reliability of these techniques,
Additionally, a significant correction of valgus malalignment was observed (5.0° ± 2.9° valgus to 0.7° ± 3.2° varus, p < 0.001). Regarding complications, two re-osteosyntheses were performed due to loss of correction and delayed union. No conversion to patellofemoral arthroplasty occurred. Conclusion
When would I need a valgus or varus stress test? Your provider might perform a valgus or varus stress test if you have pain in your knee or elbow — or if you injured your leg or arm. These tests help them check for damage to the collateral ligaments that support your joints.
