Milking Sign

Examination type

Ligamentous integrity; joint stability

Patient & Body Segment Positioning

Involved arm should be supported in 90⁰ of shoulder abduction with external rotation of the glenohumeral joint, and 90⁰ of elbow flexion with the forearm supinated.

Examiner Position

Examiner stands behind the seated athlete and supports involved elbow with one hand while grasping thumb of involved side with other hand.

Tissues Being Tested

Ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow

Performing the Test

From behind sitting patient, pull on thumb of involved arm moving the forearm backwards which causes a valgus stress on the elbow and stresses the ulnar collateral ligament.

Positive Test

Excessive opening of the elbow with valgus stress or pain on medial aspect of elbow

Interpretation

Pathology with the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow (strain or tear)

Common errors in performing exam

The examiner may be standing in the wrong position (for example too far to the side of the athlete rather than behind them).

Factors possibly resulting in misinterpretation

Pain from an acute injury or inflammation of a bursa; passive pronation of the elbow at 90^o

Related tests

Valgus stress at 30⁰ and at 0^o
