Q

Describe Pivot shift, in full extension and with flexion/valgus/internal rotation - when sublimated and when reduced?

In ACL deficient knee in full extension the lateral plateau sublimates ANTERIORLY***

With valgus applied, the lateral pleated impinges on the lateral condyle

As knee flexed, lateral plateau SLIDES POSTERIORLY into a REDUCED POSITION*** –> clunk
