Ultrasound For Knee Pain

An ultrasound machine can be utilized in the evaluation and management of knee pain.

 

Ultrasound can be used to visualize superficial soft tissue structures around the knee joint. A major advantage of ultrasound over other imaging modalities is its dynamic use. It is very helpful to observe joint surface motion and correlate ultrasound findings with patient symptoms. Keep in mind that ultrasound cannot see deep into the bone, so ultrasound is not the imaging modality of choice for any intra-articular lesion. As always, it is important to use ultrasound as part of the clinical examination in conjunction with other imaging modalities and the capabilities they provide.

 

Common structures around the knee include

Patella and quadriceps tendons

 

Multiple knee bursae

 

Muscle and tendon structures in the front and back of the joint

 

Joint lines and joint capsule depressions
