I am reading my husbands medical report on his knee injury and i understand most of it. I know effusion is "swelling" but the word before it appears to be bollattable. Maybe it's a mis spelling ?

It's "ballottable"
It indicates excessive joint effusion (swelling): With the knee straight, the patella is pushed into the trochlear groove (down) and released quickly. This forces fluid under the patella to the sides of the joint and then to return under the patella. This rebound effect is referred to as a ballottable patella.

Do you mean "volatile" ? I really don't know. Look it up on the web. There's no such word as "bollattable".
