Question

question 3
a positive drawer sign supports a diagnosis of:
sciatica
cruciate ligament injury
meniscal injury
patellar ligament injury

Explanation:

The drawer sign is a clinical test used to assess the integrity of the cruciate ligaments in the knee. A positive drawer sign indicates excessive movement of the tibia relative to the femur, which is characteristic of a cruciate ligament injury. Sciatica is related to nerve compression (usually the sciatic nerve), meniscal injury is tested with other maneuvers (like the McMurray test), and patellar ligament injury would present with different symptoms (e.g., pain over the patellar ligament, difficulty with knee extension).

Answer:

Cruciate ligament injury
