Want another simple, but helpful special test for mensicus pathology?

The next text I perform during my clinical examination after joint line palpation is simple bringing the knee to full deep knee flexion and full knee hyperextension.

With full knee flexion, the posterior aspect of the meniscus is engaged, and with full knee extension the anterior is engaged. This is often painful in people with meniscal pathology, but you could also have a mechanical block of the motion.

The literature does not show high specificity or sensitivity for these tests. I would never perform them in isolation and make a decision based on the results. But I find them to be simple to perform and add to the clinical decision making, without aggressively attempting to provoke the joint like other tests.
