This is a detailed scan to assess the condition of the shoulder joint.

• Range of Movement: Ultrasound can help in evaluating the causes of pain and any restrictions in movement.

• Tendons, Muscles, and Ligaments: An ultrasound scan can provide a clear picture of these structures in and around your shoulder.

• Inflammation and Fluid: Ultrasound can detect any inflammation or fluid accumulation in and around the shoulder joint.

Please be aware that ultrasound of the hip can be very useful in certain clinical queries however it can not answer all clinical questions. Depending on the individual circumstances, an MRI scan might be of greater benefit to you and that is why we advise prior assessment by a trained professional so that they can advise the most appropriate examination for you.

Please be aware that ultrasound of the knee can be very useful in certain clinical queries however it can not answer all clinical questions. Depending on the individual circumstances, an MRI scan might be of greater benefit to you and that is why we advise prior assessment by a trained professional so that they can advise the most appropriate examination for you.

 Ultrasound of the knee is fantastic for:

·         Lumps and swellings around joint (including bursa / bursitis)

·         Extensor mechanism (quadriceps and patellar tendon integrity / tendinopathy)

·         Popliteal cysts / swelling.

·         Collateral ligaments – however instability is largely a clinical diagnosis and injury to these is invariably associated with additional internal joint injury, which is best evaluated with MRI.  

Knee ultrasound is generally not suitable for:

 ·         Osteoarthritis – standard test is weight bearing x-ray to assess joint space.

·         Cruciate ligaments.

·         Confirmation and grading of suspected meniscal tears.

·         Patellofemoral pain / instability.
