Ballotable, or ballottable in reference to the head of a fetus means that it can be felt moving around in the amniotic fluid.
The term "ballotable head" refers to a physical examination finding in which a healthcare provider can detect a fluid-filled joint, particularly in the context of joint effusions. It is most commonly associated with the knee, where the excess fluid allows for a "ballotable" sensation when the patella (kneecap) is gently pushed down. This term is often used in orthopedic and clinical assessments to indicate the presence of conditions like arthritis or injury.
