The Lachman test is a clinical examination technique used to assess the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. During the test, the examiner stabilizes the femur with one hand while grasping the tibia with the other and applies an anterior force. A positive result is indicated by excessive forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur, suggesting an ACL tear or injury. This test is particularly valued for its sensitivity and reliability in diagnosing ACL injuries.
