When to Consult a Doctor

Symptoms that may indicate the need for an ultrasound of the knee joint include:

  • Discomfort or pain in the knee during movement or at rest.
  • Presence of swelling or changes in skin color around the joint.
  • Restricted movement, meaning difficulty bending or straightening the knee.
  • Injuries, including falls that may lead to ligament, tendon, or meniscus damage.
  • Clicking or locking — any abnormal sounds or sensations of "catching" in the joint during movement.

Indications for the Procedure

  • Pain or discomfort in the knee joint.
  • Swelling or redness in the knee area.
  • Limited mobility or locking in the knee.
  • Suspected ligament tears, meniscus damage, or other injuries.
  • Detection of anomalies during a physical examination.
  • Monitoring the joint's condition after injuries or surgeries.

Ultrasound of the knee joint has virtually no absolute contraindications, as the procedure is safe. However, it may be postponed in the presence of open wounds or acute infections in the area being examined.

Preparation for the Procedure

Special preparation is usually not required. It is recommended to choose comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the knee joint for examination.

Duration of the Procedure: The ultrasound examination typically lasts about 15-30 minutes and is completely painless for the child.

How the Procedure is Conducted

During the examination, the child is placed in a comfortable position that allows easy access to the knee joint. The doctor applies a special gel to enhance the quality of imaging and moves the ultrasound transducer gently along the surface of the knee to obtain images in real-time.

Normal Findings

In a healthy knee joint, clear outlines of bone structures, normal appearance of ligaments and tendons, and the absence of excess fluid or signs of inflammation should be observed.

When Results Can Be Expected

Results are available immediately after the completion of the procedure. The doctor discusses the findings with the parents and provides recommendations for further treatment or follow-up if necessary.

Ultrasound examination of the knee joint in children at "Dobrobut" clinics is an effective way to detect injuries and inflammatory processes, allowing for timely initiation of necessary treatment.
