Table-top relocation test for PLRI. A First component. The patient’s hand is supinated and grasps the edge of a table, then applies an axial force and flexes the elbow. The patient will have pain or radial head subluxation at approximately 40° of flexion. B Second component. From the starting position, the examiner applies force upon the radial head as the patient flexes the elbow. This prevents radial head subluxation and prevents pain. C Third component. The examiner then removes his or her thumb, which causes recurrence of the patient’s pain.
