While the Lachman test is the clinical standard for assessing increased anterior tibial translation, it has some drawbacks. Problems remain with quantitation, reproducibility, and execution. The authors report on modifications designed to solve these problems. The modifications are comfortable for patients, reliable, and can be performed on limbs of all sizes.
