- Title
TRENDELENBURG TEST.
- Authors
Tunick, Arthur M.
- Abstract
1. The value of the Trendelenburg test in determining the competency of the valves in the superficial and communicating veins of the lower limbs is discussed. 2. The performance of the test is described in detail and recommended changes in terminology for recording the findings are introduced. It is felt that the change in terminology will facilitate teaching the test and also enable infrequent users of the test to understand the underlying pathologic physiology without confusion. 3. Failure of the Trendelenburg test to reveal obviously incompetent valves is explained.
