Elbow & Forearm Scan
An Elbow & Forearm Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive scan used to assess the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues in the elbow and forearm. It helps identify the cause of pain, stiffness, swelling, injuries, or reduced mobility, and is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, tendon tears, arthritis, or fluid build-up.
What does this scan include?
Detailed ultrasound of the elbow joint and forearm structures
Identification of tendonitis, ligament injuries, fluid collections, or degenerative changes
Comparative imaging if both elbows/forearms are scanned (bilateral)
A comprehensive written report for your records or GP
20–30 minute appointment with experienced sonographers
No GP referral required
Unilateral vs. Bilateral Scan
Unilateral Scan: Focuses on one elbow and forearm if symptoms are only on one side.
Bilateral Scan: Examines both sides, ideal if you have symptoms in both arms or need a comparative assessment.
Why choose this scan?
This scan is recommended if you suffer from persistent elbow or forearm pain, sports injuries, swelling, restricted movement, or nerve-related symptoms. It provides clear answers to guide treatment and recovery.
