This test has nothing to do with a meniscal tear. It is used to ascertain patellar (kneecap) dysfunction. It can be positive even with no pathology present, and must be used carefully and in conjunction with other tests. -- preceeding comment was written by 24.115.29.1 and moved to the discussion page (pending proofs).

The claim that the Apley compression test has nothing to do with a meniscal tear goes against the published reference that I have provided and is certainly not what was originally intended by Apley, as his original paper in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery was titled "The Diagnosis of Meniscus Injuries." Obviously, the value of the Apley compression test is not quite clear within the physical examination and may, in fact, be useless. That's a separate issue, I think, that could be addressed in the article if you like! InvictaHOG 11:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
