H U Stäubli,R P Jakob,

We evaluated the accuracy of six clinical tests for posterior instability in 24 knees with acute surgically-proven posterior cruciate ligament injuries and intact anterior cruciate ligaments. We also performed stress radiography under anaesthesia. The gravity sign and the posterior drawer test in near extension and its passive reduction were diagnostic in 20 of the 24 knees, and the active reduction of posterior subluxation was diagnostic in 18. The reversed pivot shift sign helped to diagnose severe posterior and posterolateral subluxations, but the external rotation recurvatum test was negative in all 24 knees. Stress radiography in near extension revealed a highly significant increase in posterior tibial subluxation in the injured knees.
