Which test, used to assess Meniscal Lesions, is named after a physician and often taught alongside others?

• A. Slocum Test
• B. Thessaly Test
• C. McMurray's Test
• D. Steinmann Test

Answer: (D)

Testing for meniscal injuries relies on provocative knee maneuvers that stress the meniscus between the femur and tibia, provoking pain or a mechanical sign if a tear is present. The Steinmann test fits this pattern as a traditional, physician-named examination used to identify meniscal lesions and is commonly taught alongside other classic knee tests. This makes it the best fit for a question asking for a physician-named test specifically used to assess meniscal pathology. Other options either target different knee structures or are less central in standard meniscal testing, such as tests focused on ligamentous instability.
