Execution:
- The patient’s forearm is held in neutral rotation
- The examiner stabilizes the distal radius and hand as one unit with a firm grip
- The other hand grasps the distal ulna and forces it into dorsal and palmar direction relative to the radius
- The procedure is repeated in relative supination and pronation
Positive Outcome: The stability of the distal radioulnar joint is compared to the uninjured wrist and marked laxity as well as the reproduction of the patient’s painful symptoms indicate a positive test

| Comment: When compared with arthroscopy findings, the test is at most mildly useful in excluding an injury but overall the test has a weak clinical value | |||||
