The sensitivity of scrotal ultrasound is limited for evaluating testicular rupture after a scrotal gunshot wound. Large coincident hematoceles or hematomas may obscure the diagnosis of testicular rupture. Negative ultrasound should not preclude scrotal exploration after a scrotal gunshot wound is sustained.
