Which test involves supine knee extended and compression from proximal tibia to fibula moving distally to elicit pain, indicating a syndesmotic injury?

Testing the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis by compressing the leg. In this maneuver, the patient lies supine with the knee extended, and you squeeze the leg along its shaft from the proximal tibia toward the fibula, moving distally to stress the syndesmotic ligaments. If the syndesmosis is injured, this stress reproduces pain around the distal tibiofibular joint (high ankle region), indicating a syndesmotic injury.

Morton’s test targets forefoot nerves (intermetatarsal neuroma), Tinels sign is a nerve-tapping test, and the repeated option is the same procedure duplicated.
