The Lateral Fibular Stress Test: High Variability of Force Applied by Orthopaedic Surgeons in a Biomechanical Model

BACKGROUND: The lateral fibular stress test (LFST), also known as the hook or Cotton test, is commonly performed to assess syndesmotic instability intraoperatively. Several studies have used 100 N as the force applied when performing the LFST to detect syndesmotic instability, though no evidence-bas...
