ballottement

Ballottement is a medical sign which indicates increased fluid in the suprapatellar pouch over the patella at the knee joint. To test ballottement the examiner would apply downward pressure towards the foot with one hand, while pushing the patella backwards against the femur with one finger of the opposite hand. A "milking" motion is used with the downward pressure. If a bogginess around the joint occurs, then the test is positive for ballottement.

ballottement
Recomiendo evitar los galicismos *ballottement* y *baloteo* para designar esta técnica de exploración basada en el balanceo de un cuerpo sólido inmerso en un líquido, muy utilizada en obstetricia como signo cierto de embarazo (ballottement du fœtus). Aunque ‘balanceo’ o ‘bamboleo’ hubieran podido ser también traducciones correctas, es clásica en obstetricia su traducción por ‘peloteo’.
