ACL injury assessment ⛷️ indicated ACL injury with three positive diagnostic tests, ACL drawer with a soft end feel, Pivot shift test with a notable shift and Lachman’s test with laxity. ACL rupture later confirmed by MRI. Important to note - swelling and arthrogenic muscle inhibition will stabilise the ACL after injury which can affect sensitivity of testing, and previous history, hyperextension/hypermobility of the knee can also affect sensitivity and laxity upon testing.
