Knee - Wilson's Test
Creative Commons LicenseThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0
Wilson's test is used to determine the presence of osteochondritis dissecans of the knee. Typically this lesion appears on the medial aspect of the medial femoral condyle near the intercondylar notch. The patient sits on the side of the table. The patient is then instructed to entend their knee with the tibia in medial rotation. A positive test will result in the patient reporting pain in the knee about 30-degrees from full extention. The patient's pain will be relieved when the tibia is laterally rotated.

OCD of the knee most commonly occurs on the LATERAL aspect of the medial femoral condyle, not the medial aspect. You are correct that it occurs near the intercondylar notch, but this is the LATERAL aspect of the MFC. The rest is well-demonstrated.
