What it is and what it is for

Musculoskeletal ultrasound lets us look at muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints, with the advantage of being able to study them in movement. It is very useful for pain that won't go away, tendinitis, bursitis, effusions and sports injuries.

Which parts can be examined

Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, as well as muscles and tendons in general. Your doctor's referral states the area to study; if you have any doubts, call me and we'll check together.

When to have it

Shoulder or knee pain lasting for weeks, a suspected strain or tendinitis, a sports trauma: these are all situations where this exam helps understand what is happening, quickly and without radiation.

How it works and preparation

No preparation is needed. I examine the area by placing the probe with a little gel, sometimes asking you to move the joint to assess it better. No needles, no radiation. At the end I give you the report and explain what was found.
