@entity130 are frequently associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Clinical tests that are useful for detecting @entity937 may not be valid in this setting. The Thessaly test, a newly described dynamic clinical examination, has been shown to have a very high diagnostic accuracy for detecting @entity937 . This study evaluates the accuracy of the Thessaly test in @entity1 with combined ACL and meniscus injuries. We examined eighty @entity1 with @entity1347 for @entity130 using the Thessaly test (at 20 degrees of knee flexion), the lateral and medial joint line tenderness tests, and the McMurray test. Examiners were blinded to the MRI report on the conditions of the menisci. All @entity1 underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction during which the menisci were evaluated by direct vision and probing. During the Thessaly test, six @entity1 developed severe @entity158 and could not complete the test. Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios and predictive values were calculated for all tests. The Thessaly test had a sensitivity of 79%, specificity of 40%, positive predictive value of 56%, negative predictive value of 66%, positive likelihood ratio of 1.33, negative likelihood ratio of 0.51%, and overall accuracy of 60%. We concluded that the Thesally test has a low specificity in @entity1 with combined ACL and @entity130 and can not be recommended as a diagnostic test in this setting.
