Abstract: | The radiographs of 268 patients with knee trauma were retrospectively reviewed. In 15 patients with intraarticular fracture, the images demonstrated fat-fluid levels. In 28 other patients with intraarticular fracture, only joint effusion without a fat-fluid level was depicted. The presence of a fat-fluid level in the knee indicated fracture in all patients in whom it was seen. The absence of such a level, however, did not exclude intraarticular fracture. |
