clunk

English references:

There are various ways to perform the pivot-shift test. The basic test applies a crosswise force of the tibia against the femur while rotating the lower leg. If it shifts enough to clunk (can be felt and sometimes heard as an audible clunk), the test is positive for instability.

Lateral Pivot Shift Test (ALRI)

Positive Test

A palpable "clunk" occurs as the tibia's position on the femur reduces as the leg is flexed between 30–40 degrees & anteriorly subluxes during extension
