Frequently Asked Questions

A knee ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive scan that uses sound waves to produce real-time images of your knee joint and soft tissues.
It’s ideal for diagnosing injuries, inflammation, and degenerative changes without radiation.

You may need an ultrasound if you have:

  • Persistent or sharp knee pain
  • Swelling or fluid build-up
  • Clicking or grinding sensations
  • Limited range of motion
  • Pain after injury or exercise
  • Lumps, cysts, or deformities

It helps detect the underlying cause — whether it’s arthritis, tendon injury, or soft tissue inflammation.

  • Ligament sprains and tears (ACL, MCL, LCL)
  • Meniscus injury
  • Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
  • Bursitis or effusion
  • Osteoarthritis or joint wear
  • Baker’s cysts
  • Post-surgical scarring
  • Soft tissue inflammation or masses

No special preparation is required.
We recommend:

  • Wearing loose, comfortable clothing that exposes your knee.
  • Avoiding application of creams or oils before your scan.

You’ll lie comfortably while a small amount of gel is applied to your knee.
A handheld ultrasound probe moves gently across the area, producing detailed live images.
The scan takes 15–30 minutes and is completely painless.
Your sonographer will explain your results immediately.

Yes. Ultrasound is completely safe and radiation-free, suitable for all ages, and ideal for repeated follow-up imaging.

Common causes include:

  • Sports injuries or overuse
  • Arthritis or cartilage wear
  • Ligament or tendon damage
  • Bursitis or joint inflammation
  • Trauma or dislocation

  • Persistent swelling or stiffness
  • Clicking, locking, or giving way
  • Severe pain after injury

  • Restricted mobility or weakness

Your specialist will review and explain your scan results clearly.
If needed, they’ll recommend next steps such as:

You’ll leave your appointment with a clear action plan.
