FINGER ULTRASOUND (UNILATERAL)

Service Description

Musculoskeletal ultrasound of the fingers is a high-resolution study that allows for the precise evaluation of tendons, joints, ligaments, and soft tissues of the fingers or toes. It is a non-invasive, painless, and radiation-free examination, ideal for diagnosing injuries caused by trauma, overuse, inflammation, or rheumatological diseases. During the study, the following are analyzed in detail: Flexor and extensor tendons. Palmar plates and synovial sheaths. Collateral ligaments. Metacarpophalangeal, proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. Digital nerves and subcutaneous tissue. The examination allows for the detection of: Tenosynovitis or tendinitis. Partial or complete tendon ruptures. Ligamentous or capsular injuries. Arthritis or synovitis due to inflammatory diseases. Synovial cysts or nodules. Foreign bodies (thorns, splinters, metal fragments). Traumatic or post-surgical injuries. Most frequent clinical indications: Joint pain or stiffness in one or more fingers. Difficulty flexing or extending the finger. Local swelling or redness. Suspected tendinitis, rupture, or foreign body. Diagnosis of trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis). Evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or infections. Post-treatment follow-up or rehabilitation. Advantages of the study: Does not use radiation. Allows for dynamic, real-time visualization. Evaluates millimeter-sized structures with high-frequency ultrasound. Ideal for early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. Preparation: No fasting or special measures required. It is recommended to arrive with the area free of creams or dressings. The study is performed using high-resolution ultrasound and can be complemented with color Doppler to assess inflammatory processes or increased vascularization. 📍 Schedule your musculoskeletal finger ultrasound and get a fast, accurate, and radiation-free diagnosis of tendon, joint, or inflammatory injuries.
