Posterior Drawer Test for PCL Injury on Knee Examination



The patient lays supine with the knee approximately 90 degrees of flexion.  The examiner sits on the patient's toes to stabilize the leg while applying a posterior translational force on the proximal tibia.

The test is positive for PCL tear if there is excess posterior tibial translation.
