Knee Ultrasound in Warsaw – Private Examination

A knee ultrasound is a modern imaging examination that allows for the assessment of knee joint structures, including ligaments, menisci, articular cartilage, bursae, and synovial membrane. Ultrasound uses sound waves, making it completely safe, non-invasive, and repeatable. This examination can be performed on pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children.

The examination is recommended for both sudden injuries and chronic knee pain. Knee ultrasound is commonly performed on physically active individuals, athletes, post-surgery patients, and those undergoing diagnosis for degenerative joint diseases.

A knee ultrasound is recommended in cases of:

• sprains, dislocations, or suspected ligament damage;
• recurring knee pain of unknown origin;
• swelling;
• limited joint mobility;
• monitoring knee condition after an injury, surgery, or orthopedic procedure.

Contraindications to the examination may include open wounds, skin infections, burns, or severe swelling around the knee. In such cases, the doctor may recommend postponing the examination or choosing an alternative diagnostic method.

What Can a Knee Ultrasound Detect?

With a knee ultrasound, a doctor can diagnose conditions such as:

• muscle, tendon, and ligament strains, tears, or overload injuries;
• meniscus injuries;
• Baker's cyst;
• degenerative changes and inflammatory conditions within the knee joint;
• rheumatoid arthritis (RA);
• joint effusions, hematomas, abscesses, and tumors;
• synovial membrane hypertrophy and bursitis.

Preparation for a Knee Ultrasound

The examination does not require any special preparation from the patient.

The patient does not need to fast or discontinue medications. However, it is advisable to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the knee joint, such as pants with a loose leg. If the ultrasound is being performed to monitor previous injuries, bringing past examination results, such as knee X-rays or knee MRI, is recommended.

How Is a Knee Ultrasound Performed in Warsaw?

The examination is painless and takes approximately 15–20 minutes.

Knee ultrasound is conducted by experienced radiologists, orthopedic specialists, and diagnostic imaging experts. The procedure is usually performed while the patient is lying down, but different positions may be required depending on the area being examined. For posterior knee examinations, the patient must lie on their stomach. The doctor applies a special gel to the knee, which facilitates ultrasound wave transmission, and then moves the transducer across the skin's surface. During the examination, the specialist assesses individual joint structures, checking their shape, thickness, consistency, and any potential damage.

When Will I Receive My Knee Ultrasound Results?

The results are available immediately after the examination. The patient receives a report along with printed ultrasound images.
