Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if adding blue dye improves the saline load test, which is a way to detect a traumatic intraarticular knee injury by injecting normal saline into the knee and looking for outflow through the wound.
