Q

CLUNK

A

Pt supine
One hand under GH
Other hand supporting above pt elbow
Apply translation under the GH, while other hand is externally rotating the humerus

17
Q

CLUNK - WHAT DOES IT TEST?

A

Glenoid labral lesions

18
Q

CLUNK - POSITIVE TEST

A

Clunk or grinding noise/feeling
Due to the trapping of the torn labrum between the glenoid and humeral head
