About our Ankle Ultrasound Scan – One Limb

At London Private Ultrasound, we offer high-resolution ankle ultrasound scans for male and female patients aged 18 and over. Most commonly used to investigate pain, swelling, or injury following trauma or sports activity, this scan is performed by experienced specialists in musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging — covering soft tissue, tendon, ligament, and joint structures of tendons, ligaments, nerves, and soft tissues, allowing us to assess structural integrity and pinpoint the exact origin of symptoms. Our scans help diagnose conditions caused by injury, inflammation, arthritis, or degenerative changes — all without the need for a GP referral.

 

What the Scan Assesses:

    • Ligaments – for sprains, tears, and instability

    • Tendons – for tendinitis, tenosynovitis, and ruptures

    • Muscles – including strains and myofascial injuries

    • Joint capsule and synovial fluid – to detect joint effusion and inflammation

    • Bursae – for bursitis and fluid collection

    • Cartilage – to assess degeneration or injury

    • Bones – for surface evaluation of stress fractures or cortical irregularities

    • Soft tissue – for lumps, cysts, lipomas, and foreign bodies

    • Nerves – including assessment for neuromas or compressions (e.g., Morton’s Neuroma)

There is no preparation for the ankle ultrasound scan.
Our Ultrasound Specialists will explain the procedure before your scan. When you expose your ankle, you will be guided to sit on the examination couch. A small amount of water-based gel will be applied to your ankle. Our specialist will move the probe on your skin to produce diagnostic ultrasound images. You will not feel any discomfort during your ultrasound scan. An ankle ultrasound scan is regularly completed within 15-20 minutes. Our Sonographer will recommend the best course of action, depending on the ultrasound scan findings.
You will receive your results verbally during and after the scan. However, the Sonographer will examine the relevant images after your appointment and prepare a written report after your scan or within 24 hours with any recommended actions. The report will be sent to you so that you can discuss the findings with your doctor, if required.
There are no risks or side effects associated with the Ankle ultrasound scan. Ultrasound does not use any radiation.
Urgent health conditions can happen at any time of the day or night. In London Private Ultrasound, we offer emergency ankle ultrasound service late evenings, during weekends, Saturdays, or Sundays.
