©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Anterior drawer test The anterior drawer test is performed with the patient lying supine and the knee flexed at 90 degrees. The proximal tibia is gripped with both hands and pulled anteriorly, checking for anterior translation. Often the clinician sits on the foot while performing the test to provide stability. It is helpful to compare the degree of translation with the uninjured knee. Courtesy of Ryan P Friedberg, MD.
