KNEE ULTRASOUND (UNILATERAL)
Service Description
Musculoskeletal ultrasound of the knee is a high-resolution study that allows real-time visualization of the tendons, muscles, bursae, ligaments, and joints of the knee. It is a non-invasive, painless, and radiation-free examination, ideal for studying joint pain, sports injuries, and inflammatory or post-traumatic processes. It is a fundamental examination for diagnosing pain, inflammation, sports injuries, or degenerative conditions, allowing the observation of alterations that are often not visible. During the study, a detailed evaluation of the main anatomical structures of the knee is performed: Quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon. Suprapatellar, prepatellar, and infrapatellar bursae. Medial and lateral collateral ligaments. Infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's fat pad). Lateral and medial recesses. Peripheral menisci and popliteal region (Baker's cyst). Ultrasound allows for the precise detection of: Patellar and quadriceps tendinopathies. Pre- or suprapatellar bursitis. Partial or complete tendon tears or ruptures. Joint effusion or synovitis. Peripheral meniscal lesions. Baker's cysts or popliteal fluid collections. Inflammatory or degenerative joint changes. Most frequent clinical indications: Anterior or lateral knee pain. Inflammation, stiffness, or functional limitation. Sports injuries or overuse injuries. Suspected tendinitis or bursitis. Posterior pain consistent with a Baker's cyst. Monitoring of injections or guided aspirations. Post-surgical or rehabilitation follow-up. Advantages of the study: It does not use radiation. It allows for bilateral comparative examination and dynamic evaluation. It detects tendon or bursal abnormalities that are visible earlier than on X-ray. Ideal for early diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic management. Preparation: No fasting or special measures are required. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy exposure of the knee. The study is performed using high-resolution ultrasound and can be complemented with color Doppler to assess inflammation or tendon neovascularization. 📍 Schedule your musculoskeletal knee ultrasound with Dr. Segnini and obtain a reliable diagnosis for your joint or sports injuries.
