Se hace la rotación externa tanto en la maniobra Varo como en la del valgo ya que los ligamentos colaterales (medial y lateral) ambos se tensan en dicha rotación. Mientras que los ligamentos cruzados "frenan" la rotación interna.
Both test (Forced Valgus - and forced Varus) are made with external rotation because this increase tension in the colateral ligaments (Medial and lateral). While for the internal rotation the cruciate ligaments makes the "stop" (End Fell).

Does any knowledgeable person have any information about new medical technology to repair torn pcl knee ligaments and osteoarthritis. I have heard there are new and exciting things being done with stem cells, spider silk, and new 3D cat scans.

[doctorrex]

please upload video on jumpers knee and how to treat its bump?

[scoobeemoo]

Why do you assess in full extension and 20-30 degrees of flexion?

[sheharbanoahmedkhan]

What is the purpose of performing external rotation first?

[ericmagpantay]

how many mm should be the gapping and the normal?

[Robin]

Why should there be an exorotation when performing the valgus and varus stress-test?
We are tought to do it without a rotation. As the Lig. collaterale laterale + mediale run more or less vertical, I can not see any reason to rotate the tibia. At least no reason to specifically exorotate...
