Identifying the Need for Diagnostic Imaging
Our approach to diagnosing sports injuries is rooted in a comprehensive evaluation, which often leads to the utilization of diagnostic imaging. The decision to use an X-ray or ultrasound is based on the nature of the injury and the specific information needed.
X-Rays for Structural Assessment
X-rays are a fundamental tool in sports medicine, providing clear images of bone structure, which are crucial for diagnosing fractures and joint alignments.
Conditions and Injuries Evaluated with X-Rays:
- Fractures: Detecting breaks in bones, from hairline fractures to more severe cases.
- Joint Dislocations: Assessing dislocated joints to determine the extent of injury and plan for appropriate repositioning.
- Degenerative Joint Diseases: Evaluating conditions such as osteoarthritis to assess the extent of joint wear.
Diagnostic Ultrasound for Soft Tissue Visualization
Diagnostic ultrasound is invaluable for visualizing soft tissue structures. This technology offers real-time dynamic imaging, allowing our physicians to assess the movement and condition of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
