FAQs
What Scan Is Best for the Knee?
It depends on your symptoms and clinical findings:
X-ray – Commonly used in the NHS to detect fractures or degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis.
Ultrasound scan – Excellent for assessing soft tissues, fluid, and inflammation. It also allows dynamic assessment, meaning your clinician can move the joint during scanning.
MRI – Provides the most detailed information about all knee structures and is often required before surgery.
Our Eastleigh physiotherapy clinic will help you decide which knee scan is most appropriate for your condition.
Do I Need a Knee Scan?
Not everyone needs imaging. Our experienced physiotherapist will assess whether a knee ultrasound scan is necessary.
Remember, scans don’t always explain pain — many people show changes on imaging without any symptoms.
What Can a Knee Ultrasound Detect?
A knee ultrasound scan at Physio Soton can identify a wide range of conditions, including:
Osteoarthritis – joint space narrowing, synovitis, fluid, osteophytes
Meniscus tears or degeneration – especially peripheral meniscal changes
Inflammatory joint conditions – such as synovitis
Tendon issues – e.g. patellar tendinosis
Ligament injuries – particularly collateral ligaments
Parameniscal cysts – often associated with meniscus tears
Baker’s cyst – a collection of fluid at the back of the knee
Cost of a Knee Ultrasound Scan in Eastleigh
At Physio Soton, a knee ultrasound scan costs £120, including a clinical examination and detailed report.
