37
What is the anterior drawer test testing
ATFL integrity
38
What is a positive sign of the anterior drawer test
If the foot slides forward and/or makes a clunking sound as it reaches the end point

talus on calcaneus
46
Which special test is used to test the integrity of the CFL
Talar tilt test
47
How is the talar tilt test performed and what is it testing
It tests the integrity of the CFL by inverting the calcaneus with the ankle in neutral
