Medical - Medical (general) / Tibial plateau fracture - Knee
French term or phrase: choc rotulien
Salut!

This is from a medical report about a patient with a knee injury (tibial plateau fracture).

Examen clinique
Inspection :
pas de déformation
absence de lésion cutanée
Palpation :
point douloureux exquis à la palpation : plateau tibial externe
choc rotulien
Examen neuro-vasculaire :
pouls pédieux et tibial postérieur perçu

I think it is floating patella (or knee), luxating patella (or knee) or patellar ballottement /click, but I am not sure which. Or it might just be referring to the patellar tap test, but I'm not sure.

Any help appreciated!

Purpose

Accumulation of fluid due an irritation of the synovial membrane is known as effusion; it could be serous, blood, or pus.
If there is swelling in the knee it should be evaluated to know whether it is a soft tissue swelling, a bony swelling or a joint effusion.

Perform the patellar tap test or fluid displacement test to determine the presence of fluid in the knee joint. The patellar test is best for identifying moderate-sized effusions. The fluid displacement test is better for smaller effusions.
