It is most commonly discussed in the setting of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury or ACL reconstruction. Clinicians also use the term when describing a physical exam finding called the pivot shift test. In plain terms, it reflects a knee that can subtly slip and then \u201cclunk\u201d back into place during motion."}
