Flex the knee to ninety degrees, apply an axial force along the tibia, and rotate the tibia.

Posteriorly palpate the popliteal fossa and the distal hamstrings.

With the foot dorsiflexed, the tibia and the fibula are squeezed together.

With the knee flexed to thirty degrees, stabilize the femur and pull the proximal tibia anteriorly.

Palpate the distal quadriceps, quadriceps tendon, the patella, patellar tendon, the tibial tuberosity, and the fat pads beneath the patella.

With the knee flexed to ninety degrees and the foot planted on the table, push the proximal tibia anteriorly.

With the knee flexed at ninety degrees and the foot planted on the table, push the proximal tibia posteriorly.

Isolate the distal interphalangeal joint over the edge of the table and observe for flexion at this joint to perform the Boyes' test.

Isolate the distal interphalangeal joint over the edge of the table and observe for flexion at this joint to perform the Boyes' test.

With both knees flexed to ninety degrees and feet planted on the table, view the knees from the side to compare the position of the tibia.

With the patient supine and knee fully flexed, palpate the medial joint line and apply an axial force along the tibia while externally rotating and extending the knee.
