[Rupture of the testicle: comparison of the echographic picture and operative findings].
9 patients suffering from testicular rupture, owing to blunt scrotal trauma, were examined with ultrasound and then underwent surgical exploration. Sonography correctly diagnosed testicular rupture in 8 patients, 1 false-negative occurred. Clinical examination often is difficult in evaluating testicular trauma, sonography provides a useful tool for improved diagnosis in testicular rupture.
