“…(3) The examiner then removes his or her thumb from the partially flexed elbow, and radial head subluxation reproduces pain. This test is theoretically more specific than the chair push-up and prone push-up test because the relief from apprehension makes intra-articular pathology less likely to be causing symptoms 15 (Fig. 5).…”

The elbow comprises a complex of bony and ligamentous stabilizers that provide both primary and secondary constraints to elbow instability. Through trauma and overuse, classic instability patterns arise by loss of these important stabilizers. The diagnosis of elbow instability can made using specific examination maneuvers and testing to diagnose the clinical pattern. This article reviews the elbow’s unique anatomy and biomechanical characteristics and these are applied when reviewing the maneuvers and testing used to diagnose elbow instability.

“…An index of suspicion should be maintained in the patient with an apparently innocuous partial articular radial head fracture who is failing to progress with rehabilitation as expected. Posterior drawer test, table-top test, push-up test and relocation test can all help in the diagnosis [7]. The pivot-shift test is most useful in the anaesthetised patient.…”

“…Both of the tests place the patient's forearms in maximal supination while the elbow is extending against an axial load. Arvind and Hargreaves described the table -top relocation test which is performed by having the patient push up against a table or wall with the arm in full pronation and then repeated in full supination [ 15 ]. Positive signs for these tests are apprehension, pain, or palpable instability.…”
