What is an equivocal mcmurrays test?

An equivocal McMurray's test refers to a situation where the results of the test are unclear or do not definitively indicate the presence of a meniscal tear in the knee. During the test, the clinician manipulates the knee while feeling for a click or pain that suggests damage to the meniscus. If the findings are inconsistent, it may require further diagnostic evaluation, such as imaging studies, to determine the actual condition of the meniscus. An equivocal result indicates the need for cautious interpretation and potential follow-up.
