McMurray Test

The McMurray Test is a clinical exam used to check for meniscus tears in the knee. The healthcare provider bends and rotates your knee in different positions, feeling along the joint line for any unusual clicking, popping, or pain. If these signs are present during the maneuver, it suggests there may be a tear in the meniscus, which is the cartilage acting as a cushion in the knee. This test helps doctors diagnose knee injuries more accurately and decide on appropriate treatment options.
