The patellar tap is a test for fluid in the knee joint. This test is likely to be positive with moderate amounts of fluid. Excess fluid is squeezed out of the suprapatellar pouch with the index finger and the thumb. These are advanced distally from a level about 15 cm above the knee to the level of the upper border of the patella. ................
