Most orthopedic authors conclude that saline loading test alone is either insufficiently sensitive to rule out joint violation when used alone or that a significant amount of fluid must be injected to achieve adequate sensitivity. The knee joint capsule itself can be violated by soft tissue injuries near the joint; this constitutes a surgical emergency that usually will require urgent orthopedic consultation. Little is known about the volume of injected intra-articular saline solution that is needed to effectively rule in or rule out a traumatic arthrotomy of the knee. CT scan of the joint may have even greater sensitivity for small volumes of intra-articular air.
