Anvil Test
Local pain in the leg or thigh may indicate femoral, tibial, or fibular fracture. Pain in the calcaneus may indicate calcaneal fracture
Allis Sign
The patient has a short leg this indicates which bone is short femur or tibia
Patrick’s Test (FABERE)
Pain in the hip indicates Coxa pathology
Laguerre test
Positive test produces pain within sacroiliac joint. Pain felt within the iliofemoral joint indicates possible hip pathology
Thomas Test
Contralateral leg is unable to lay flat on the table lumbar spine stays in a lordosis as they pull their knee to their chest = flexion contracture of the iliopsoas muscle
Gaenslen’s
Positive test = pain in the sacroiliac area Dull, anterior thigh pain could indicate tight hip flexors Radiating symptoms down the thigh could indicate lumbar disc involvement If test is negative, a lumbosacral lesion is suspected
Lewin-Gaenslen test
Positive test produces pain within the sacroiliac joint Dull, ache along the anterior thigh of the extended leg indicates tight hip flexors
Ober’s Test
Thigh remains abducted as opposed to internally rotating and adducting indicates iliotibial band contracture

Iliac crest drops on the raised leg side indicative of weak hip abductors on the contralateral side (gluteus medius)
