Lever Sign/Lelli’s test
A new test for diagnosing ACL tears
Higher sensitivity (94 - 100%) than the Lachman test (highest sensitivity test to date)
With time and more study, this may become our new gold standard physical examination test
Very easy to learn and apply to bedside care
Can help with diagnosing partial tears
Area of manipulation is the femur and not the tibia (as in other tests)
Consider incorporating into your standard knee examination
