With one hand fixate the humerus and put it in external rotation. Palpate the radial collateral ligament, flex the elbow to approximately 20 to 30 degrees and then apply an abduction or varus force.\n\nUsually, you will find a tense ligament, though if you experience increased laxity, a change in range of motion, pain, or a soft end-feel this indicates an injury to the ligament.\n\n[cta]\n\nIf you would like to assess the medial collateral ligament at the elbow, please check out the Varus Instability Stress Test at the elbow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wiki\/elbow-valgus-instability-stress-test\/\">here<\/a>.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-content","section_options":{"vertical_alignment":"top","column_right_box":false,"column_left_width":"col-12 col-lg-4 offset"},"column_left":{"content_editor":"<h4>References<\/h4>"},"column_right":{"content_editor":"<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28248609\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bhattacharyya N, Gubbels SP, Schwartz SR, Edlow JA, El-Kashlan H, Fife T, Holmberg JM, Mahoney K, Hollingsworth DB, Roberts R, Seidman MD.
