Sonography of the infant hip (synonyms: sonography according to Graf; ultrasound of the infant hip) is a screening procedure for the early detection of hip maturation disorders as well as congenital deformities of the infant hip. This ultrasound examination was established by R. Graf in the 1980s and is part of the U3 screening examination. … Infant Hip Ultrasound: Sonography of the Infant Hip
Multiphase skeletal scintigraphy is a diagnostic procedure in nuclear medicine that represents a special imaging technique of scintigraphy that can precisely reveal functional changes in the skeletal system. The field of application of multiphase skeletal scintigraphy is primarily in the evaluation of both inflammatory processes of the skeletal system and bone tumors and, in particular, … Multiphase Skeletal Scintigraphy
Muscle function diagnostics is used to check the muscle function or muscle strength of individual muscles or even muscle groups. It provides information about damage to peripheral motor nerves, performance and the healing process of functionally or organically damaged muscles. Indications (areas of application) The field of application is very wide; the muscles may be … Muscle Function Diagnostics
Pedography (synonyms: electropedography; foot pressure measurement) is an electronic measurement of the feet, which is used for static and dynamic pressure distribution under the soles as well as for gait analysis. Specific complaints or pain in the area of the foot in particular are often not adequately recorded in clinical observation and conventional gait analysis, … Pedography
X-ray diagnostics of the musculoskeletal system is usually the first diagnostic measure when a pathological (disease-related) change in bone elements and joints of the skeletal system is suspected. In addition to computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), projection radiography (normal X-ray) is the basis of diagnostic imaging. Conventional X-ray technology refers to the … Bone and Joint Radiographs: Diagnostic Radiography of the Musculoskeletal System
Skeletal maturity determination is an important procedure for assessing bone age. Skeletal maturity means that both length and thickness growth of the bones has ended and the skeleton has reached its final shape. Changes to which the adult skeleton is subjected throughout its life are not negligible, but are not important here. The determination of … Skeletal Maturity Determination
Conventional arthrography is a radiographic procedure used to visualize various joints or their interarticular spaces and their individual structures. In the native image (plain radiograph) of a joint, important structures belonging to the soft tissues cannot be visualized: Cartilaginous joint cover or joint surfaces. Meniscus (joint interdiscs) Synovia (synovial fluid) Recessus (joint chambers) Tendon sheaths … Arthrography
Sonography of the hip joint is a proven and widely used procedure for differential diagnostic clarification of pathologic (pathological) changes or symptoms in the area of the hip joint. As a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that does not require X-rays, sonography of the hip joint is a cost-effective and repeatable method. Sonography of the infant hip, … Hip Joint Ultrasound (Sonography of the Hip Joint)
Gait analysis is a medical procedure used primarily in orthopedics. The human gait results from a complex interaction of balance and coordination as well as the function of the musculature and joint mobility. In order to determine possible disorders or diseases on the basis of an altered gait pattern, both an observational gait analysis and … Gait Analysis
Arthroscopy is a medical procedure used in the diagnosis as well as in the therapy of various injuries or degenerative changes of joints. Arthroscopy is primarily used in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The arthroscope is a variant of the endoscope that is used exclusively in the therapy and diagnosis of pathological joint changes. Decisive for … Arthroscopy of the Elbow Joint: How does it work?
Arthroscopy is a medical procedure used in both the diagnosis and treatment of various injuries or degenerative changes of joints. Arthroscopy is primarily used in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The arthroscope is a variant of the endoscope that is used exclusively in the therapy and diagnosis of pathological joint changes. Decisive for the function of … Arthroscopy of the Hip Joint
Arthroscopy of the shoulder joint (synonym: shoulder arthroscopy) is a medical procedure used in both the diagnosis and treatment of various injuries or degenerative changes of joints. Arthroscopy is primarily used in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The arthroscope is a variant of the endoscope that is used exclusively in the therapy and diagnosis of pathological … Arthroscopy of the Shoulder Joint
