The lateral meniscus cheap calan sr 120mg with mastercard, and with it the tenderness to palpation, migrates posteriorly as the knee is internally rotated. The examiner exerts intermittent pressure on the affected leg, which is flexed and externally rotated. Assessment: Pain in the medial joint cavity suggests meniscus dam- age (usually a lesion of the posterior horn). Moving the knee back and forth causes the injured portion of the meniscus to be drawn into the joint and then spring back out with a snap when the joint cavity is distended. With the knee maximally flexed, the lower leg is externally rotated as far as possible. Then with the knee in slight adduction (varus stress), the leg is flexed further in the direction of the contralateral hip. Assessment: Pain in the posterior medial joint cavity suggests damage to the medial meniscus (most often the posterior horn is involved, which is compressed by this maneuver). The posterior horn of the lateral meniscus can be similarly examined with the knee internally rotated and abducted (valgus stress). The examiner then forcefully rotates the lower leg in various degrees of knee flexion. Assessment: Pain in the medial joint cavity in forced external rotation suggests damage to the medial meniscus; pain in the lateral joint cavity in internal rotation suggests damage to the lateral meniscus. Because the localization of the tear can vary, the test for the Steinmann I sign should be performed with the knee in varying degrees of flexion. The tenderness to palpation in the joint cavity migrates medially and posteriorly during flexion and slight external rotation of the knee; it then migrates back anteriorly as the knee is extended.
