What Does the Ankle Ultrasound Assess?
. Tendons: Evaluation of the Achilles tendon and other significant ankle tendons for signs of tendonitis, tears, or degeneration.
. Ligaments: Assessment of ankle joint ligaments for sprains, instability, or tears, commonly associated with sports injuries.
. Joint Space & Cartilage: Examination of joint fluid levels, inflammation, or cartilage damage that may indicate arthritis or impingement.
. Soft Tissue & Swelling: Detection of bursitis, cysts, or other soft tissue abnormalities contributing to pain and mobility issues.

Dynamic Imaging: You may be asked to move your ankle during the scan to assess function and identify any structural issues in real-time.
