Your report can be shared with your GP, physiotherapist or specialist with your consent.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>How long does an MSK ultrasound take?<\/summary><p>Most focused single-region scans take around 15\u201320 minutes, although combined or bilateral examinations may take longer.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Will I get the results on the same day?<\/summary><p>Yes. The findings are explained during the appointment and a formal written ultrasound report is normally provided the same day.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can ultrasound diagnose a tendon tear?<\/summary><p>Ultrasound can demonstrate many tendon tears, tendinopathy, thickening, calcification and associated inflammation. Some injuries may still require MRI depending on location and clinical question.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can ultrasound assess a muscle tear?<\/summary><p>Yes. Ultrasound can assess many superficial muscle strains and tears, haematoma and healing change, particularly when the affected region is accessible to the probe.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Is ultrasound useful for sports injuries?<\/summary><p>Yes. It is particularly useful for superficial tendon, muscle, bursal and selected ligament injuries and can provide dynamic assessment without ionising radiation.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can shoulder ultrasound assess the rotator cuff?<\/summary><p>Yes. Shoulder ultrasound can assess the supraspinatus, infraspinatus and subscapularis tendons, as well as the biceps tendon, bursa and other superficial structures.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can elbow ultrasound assess tennis elbow?<\/summary><p>Yes. Ultrasound can assess the common extensor tendon for tendinopathy or tearing associated with tennis-elbow symptoms, as well as the common flexor tendon for golfer\u2019s elbow.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can wrist ultrasound assess carpal tunnel syndrome?<\/summary><p>Ultrasound can assess the median nerve and carpal-tunnel region for structural features that may support nerve compression. Nerve-conduction studies may still be required in some cases.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can knee ultrasound assess a Baker\u2019s cyst?<\/summary><p>Yes. Ultrasound is commonly used to identify a Baker\u2019s cyst, joint fluid, bursitis and superficial tendon or soft-tissue abnormalities around the knee.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can ultrasound see the ACL or meniscus properly?<\/summary><p>Ultrasound has limitations for deep internal knee structures. MRI is usually more suitable for detailed assessment of the ACL, PCL, deep meniscal injury and internal cartilage.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can ankle ultrasound assess ligament sprains?<\/summary><p>Ultrasound can assess selected superficial ankle ligaments, tendon injuries, swelling, joint fluid and dynamic instability where appropriate.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can foot ultrasound assess Morton\u2019s neuroma?<\/summary><p>Yes. The intermetatarsal spaces can be assessed for features compatible with Morton\u2019s neuroma and related forefoot soft-tissue abnormalities.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can ultrasound diagnose plantar fasciitis?<\/summary><p>Ultrasound can assess plantar-fascia thickness, echotexture, focal disruption and associated heel soft tissues, supporting assessment of plantar fasciitis and related heel pain.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can Achilles ultrasound assess a tear?<\/summary><p>Yes. Ultrasound can assess Achilles tendinopathy and features of partial or full-thickness tendon tears, as well as surrounding bursae and soft tissues.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Should I have ultrasound, X-ray or MRI?<\/summary><p>That depends on the suspected problem. Ultrasound is excellent for many superficial soft-tissue conditions; X-ray is often better for bone, and MRI is often better for deeper joint structures. Your ultrasound report can advise if further imaging is appropriate.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can children have MSK ultrasound?<\/summary><p>Yes, where clinically appropriate. Ultrasound is radiation-free and is generally well tolerated by children. A parent or guardian should attend.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can both sides be scanned?<\/summary><p>Yes. Bilateral options are available for many regions, including shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, feet and heels. Pricing varies by service and clinic.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<section class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"final-cta\">\r\n<div>\r\n<span class=\"kicker\">Ready to book your MSK scan?<\/span>\r\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:8px\">Choose the painful area and get clear answers.<\/h2>\r\n<p>Self-refer directly to UKSONO Healthcare for private musculoskeletal ultrasound in Tunbridge Wells, Orpington or Canary Wharf.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"hero-actions\">\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-cyan\" href=\"#msk-scans\">Find my scan<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"tel:01892251532\">Call 01892 251532<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/main>\r\n<script>\r\n(function(){\r\n const input=document.getElementById('mskSearch');\r\n const btn=document.getElementById('mskSearchBtn');\r\n const status=document.getElementById('searchStatus');\r\n const cards=[...document.querySelectorAll('.scan-card')];\r\n function run(){\r\n const q=(input.value||'').trim().toLowerCase();\r\n let count=0;\r\n cards.forEach(c=>{\r\n const hay=(c.dataset.search+' '+c.innerText).toLowerCase();\r\n const words=q.split(\/\\s+\/).filter(x=>x.length>2);\r\n const show=!q || hay.includes(q) || words.some(w=>hay.includes(w));\r\n c.hidden=!show;\r\n if(show) count++;\r\n });\r\n status.textContent=q ?
