An ultrasound examination of the hip utilizes high-frequency sound waves to assess the condition of tissues and organs in the hip area. This test aids in diagnosing various hip-related health issues or conditions. It is a safe, non-radiative, and painless procedure, suitable for patients of all ages.

Diagnostic Purpose

This examination diagnoses pain and identifies abnormalities in the bone structure, muscles, soft tissue, and nerves around the hip area using ultrasound technology.

When to Consider an Ultrasound Examination

You should consider an ultrasound if you experience hip pain, as it may signal inflammation or tissue injury. Limited hip mobility could indicate joint issues, and discomfort around the hip after exercise or heavy activity may also be a reason for further assessment.
