This prospective study will evaluate whether tourniquet inflation affects the results of the pivot shift test in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The pivot shift test is commonly used to assess rotational instability of the knee in patients with ACL injury. In each participant, the pivot shift test will be performed under anesthesia before and after inflation of the thigh tourniquet, allowing the two conditions to be compared within the same patient. The study aims to determine whether tourniquet use changes the findings of the pivot shift examination. Understanding the possible influence of tourniquet inflation may help standardize intraoperative assessment of rotational knee instability and improve interpretation of the pivot shift test during ACL surgery.
