Alessandro Lelli
Villa Regina Hospital, ItalyTitle: KNEE LIGAMENTS: Clinical examination with Lelli Test
Abstract
Physical examination of the knee. A review of the original test description and scientific validity
of common orthopedic tests.
The clinical diagnosis of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is based on 3 tests: anterior
drawer, pivot shift and Lachman.
The latter is the most commonly used test. The “Lelli test” is a new clinical test that was first
described by Lelli in 2014.
Objectives: To present the original descriptions of common orthopedic physical examination
maneuvers of the knee and then to review the literature to support the scientific validity
of these tests.
Physical examination is essential in the diagnosis of any medical problem, including
musculoskeletal pathology. Given the large number of patients who consult physicians because of
musculoskeletal complaints, it is important that physicians truly understand how to perform the
various musculoskeletal tests that are commonly used in clinical practice and that they understand
the significance of the test results.
In general, chronic, complete tears were most successfully diagnosed but acute, partial tears were
least successfully diagnosed. The Lelli Test is more sensitive to correctly diagnosing both acute
and partial tears of the ACL compared with other common manual tests.
The clinical relevance is that some ACL ruptures may be more accurately diagnosed.
