Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Prone Anterior Drawer Test of the ankle is an orthopaedic test used to assess the integrity of the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle viz: anterior talofibular, calcaneofibular and posterior talofibular ligaments. It is an alternative to the conventional ways of performing the anterior drawer test of the ankle[1].
Description[edit | edit source]
Patient is placed in prone position with foot and ankle beyond the end of the plinth; the foot held in slight plantarflexion and an anterior force is applied steadily and translation is compared on both sides[2]
