Abstract
Distraction of joints during radiography may produce a vacuum phenomenon. This is abolished by the presence of free fluid, and thus could be taken to indicate the absence of a serious acute injury. A case is presented of a vacuum arthrogram occurring in the presence of serious acute intra-articular trauma.Entities:
