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] .
Valgus and varus stress tests are quick, simple first steps that will help your provider figure out if the ligaments in your knee or elbow are injured. They won’t give an exact result, but they’ll help guide what comes next as your provider diagnoses and treats your injury.
The Valgus Stress Test is a common orthopedic tests in order to assess the integrity of the medial collateral ligament in the knee.
Lateral collateral ligament assessment (varus stress test) The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) assessment involves the application of a varus force to assess the integrity of the LCL of the knee joint.
9 Αυγ 2021 · Standard clinical MRI techniques provide morphologic insights into knee joint pathologies, yet do not allow evaluation of ligament functionality or joint instability. We aimed to study valgus stress MRI, combined with sophisticated image post-processing, in a graded model of medial knee joint injury.
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.
- Varus Stress Test: - Primary vs Secondary Restraints: - seationing of MCL results in marked valgus instability; - isolated sectioning of ACL, PCL, LCL, or posterolateral structures does not cause large increases in valgus angulation; - cutting of MCL + PCL results in more instability than any other combination;
