U/S SCAN OF BOTH HIPS

A hip ultrasound, known as a u/s scan of both hips, is a valuable non-invasive imaging method for assessing hip joint health and development. Utilizing high-frequency sound waves, this procedure creates detailed visuals of bones, cartilage, and surrounding soft tissues. Often conducted in infants and young children, it plays a crucial role in identifying conditions like developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) early on. By applying gel to the skin and using a handheld transducer, this diagnostic tool allows healthcare providers to precisely visualize any potential abnormalities or structural issues in the hip joints, facilitating timely intervention and tailored treatment strategies.
