  This is the book that I turned to when an intern asked me about Clarke's test. I doubt Dr Clark had proclaimed his famous test when I trained, but in any event I had never heard of Dr Clark or his famous test. Today barely a day goes by when I do not use this excellent procedure; Clarkes test aka Patellar Grind Test.

  What I would add to Professor Magee's paragraph is: Do this test very gently. When positive it can be EXTREMELY painful, and can aggravate the condition.

  Thank you Professor Magee for a supremely excellent text.
