Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament producing the pivot-shift sign
JF Fetto and JL Marshall
The clinical entity termed the pivot shift was studied in cadaver specimens
and its significance was evaluated. It was found to be highly correlated
with a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, and it corresponded to a
sudden anterior-internal rotation subluxation-dislocation of the tibia and
posterior horn of the lateral meniscus beneath the lateral femoral condyle.
