Lower Extremity Ultrasound

What is an Ultrasound of Musculoskeletal?

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a painless radiology exam that is performed to help diagnose pain and evaluate the extremities in a non-invasive manner. A complete ultrasound examination consists of real-time scans of a specific joint that includes examination of the muscles, tendons, joint, other soft tissue structures, and any identifiable abnormality.

An Ultrasound of Musculoskeletal is usually ordered by doctors if you have these indications:
  1. tendon tears, or tendinitis of the rotator cuff in the shoulder, Achilles tendon in the ankle and other tendons throughout the body
  2. muscle tears, masses or fluid collections
  3. ligament sprains or tears
  4. inflammation or fluid (effusions) within the bursae and joints
