This test is rarely positive for mensical tearing. A more accurate test is the Thessaly Test that involves flexing the affected knee to 20 degrees, pivoting on the knee, and seeing if the pain is reproduced on the inside or outside. This test is much more diagnostic than the McMurray sign, and should be preferentially used in the clinical examinationj of the knee. -- comments by 24.115.29.1 and moved to discussion page pending proofs.

This is all fine and good, but the article is about the McMurray test, not about meniscal tears. As the article states and is supported by the referenced JAMA article, the test is not "rarely positive for meniscal tearing," as the actual sensitivity of 53% would not constitute "rarely" in most minds. An article about meniscal tears should certainly address all of your concerns, however! InvictaHOG 11:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I found another page for McMurray"'s" test. I think that both of the two names means the same thing, and someone had better put them together in order to not miss anything when checking the contents of this test. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noelyuan (talk • contribs) 15:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I did a rough merge of the two pages. You're on your own now. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
