What are the Clinical Indications for Ballottement?
In obstetrics, ballottement is indicated when there is a need to confirm pregnancy, especially during the second trimester. It helps in assessing fetal position and viability.
In orthopedics, it is indicated when a patient presents with symptoms of joint swelling, pain, or stiffness. It helps in diagnosing conditions like effusion, arthritis, bursitis, or trauma-related injuries.
