Hip & Thigh Scan
A Hip & Thigh Ultrasound is a safe and effective way to assess the muscles, joints, ligaments, and soft tissues in the hip and upper leg. It is useful for investigating pain, swelling, stiffness, or reduced mobility, and can help diagnose conditions such as bursitis, tendon tears, arthritis, fluid build-up, or muscle injuries.
What does this scan include?
Detailed ultrasound examination of the hip joint and thigh muscles
Detection of inflammation, bursitis, muscle tears, or degenerative changes
Bilateral imaging if both hips and thighs are scanned
A detailed written report for you and your GP or specialist
20–30 minute appointment with an experienced sonographer
No GP referral required
Unilateral vs. Bilateral Scan
Unilateral Scan: Focuses on one hip and thigh if symptoms are only on one side.
Bilateral Scan: Examines both hips and thighs, ideal for comparative assessment or symptoms affecting both sides.
Why choose this scan?
This scan is recommended if you have hip or thigh pain, restricted movement, sports injuries, post-surgical concerns, or suspected arthritis or bursitis. It provides clear answers to help guide treatment and recovery.
