Ultrasound examination of the wrist
Ultrasound examination of the wrist is effective because it provides quick and detailed assessment of tendons, ligaments, nerves, and bursae—without radiation. It is especially useful for pain, swelling, numbness, or suspected conditions like tendonitis, ganglion cysts, or nerve entrapment (such as carpal tunnel syndrome). The exam can be performed dynamically, while the patient moves the wrist, making it easier to detect functional issues not always visible on MRI or X-ray. Ultrasound is safe, affordable, and delivers immediate results that support timely treatment.
