Linscheid Squeeze Test
Purpose
[edit | edit source]
This test is used to detect ligamentous instability of the second and third carpometacarpal joints. The examiner supports the metacarpal shafts with one hand. With the other hand, the examiner pushes the metacarpal heads dorsally, then palmarly. Pain localized to the second or third carpometacarpal joints is a positive test.[1]
