We found that 2.68 and 3.02 mL of methylene blue dyed saline offered 95% and 99% sensitivity, respectively, for diagnosing traumatic wrist arthrotomy. The maximum volume of saline needed to recognize an arthrotomy was 3.1 mL. We recommend this be the minimum volume used to evaluate a traumatic wrist arthrotomy.
