Hip joint ultrasonography - Rehasport

The hip joint ultrasonography involves an assessment of the hip joint cavity and the surrounding soft tissues using an ultrasound scanner. An ultrasound transducer is applied to the patient’s joint and used to view particular anatomical structures in real time – the examination is minimally invasive and painless. The indication for the hip joint examination is acute or chronic pain, motor disorders and assessment of post-traumatic or degenerative changes. The examination is used to assess the femoral head and neck outlines, muscle insertions, iliotibial tract and hip joint cavity in terms of exudation. After the examination, the doctor develops an impression, attaches the image and gives it to the patient.
