Ultrasound of joints

If you suffer from frequent joint pain as a result of past injuries or diseases, then you are probably wondering where to make an ultrasound joint. This study visualizes the structure of the joint, and the resolving power of the device is comparable with the quality of MRI diagnostics. The advantage of the procedure is that it is possible to focus on the disturbing zone. Compression by the sensor acts as a kind of orientation for the search for foci of pathologies.

Ultrasound of joints does not require special training and is carried out in a short time. Most often, patients turn to doctors for the passage of ultrasound of the knee, shoulder and hip joints. This procedure is carried out for patients of all ages, including those for newborns.

The main indications for joint scanning:

• Recently suffered injuries and injuries in the anamnesis.
• Systemic, autoimmune, chronic, inflammatory and acute diseases.
• Pathology of the endocrine system.
• Restriction of movements in the joints and pain.
• Increased joints in volume, puffiness.
• Tumor neoplasms and suspicions of other pathologies.

The joint is a complex organ consisting of a capsule, synovial membrane, cartilage and bone. In addition, to stabilize the joint, there are ligaments, tendons and muscles. Not all joints are the same in structure.

Modern ultrasound is an effective method for identifying joint pathology, which is used in the first stage of diagnosis. Ultrasound is used to find both intraarticular and periarticular pathology. Quite often, changes in joints detected with ultrasound, need confirmation in MP-tomography, arthroscopy or arthrography.

Ultrasound of the knee joint is performed with injuries, changes in the shape of the joint, crunching during movement, swelling, and the appearance of formations. Diagnosis of the shoulder joint is prescribed with stiffness of movements, inflammatory diseases, a crunch and the transferred traumas. Examination of the wrist joint is necessary for damage to the ligamentous apparatus, tendons and pinching of nerves. Ultrasonography of the elbow joint reveals changes in ligaments, soft tissues and tendons, and an ankle joint is also used for this purpose.
