Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ankle Ultrasound Scan?
Ankle ultrasound examination is primarily used to assess the structures around the ankle joint.
These include:
- Ankle and subtalar joints
- Achilles tendon
- Plantar fascia
- Syndesmotic ligaments
- Lateral collateral ligaments (ATFL)

- lining (sheath)

- Achilles tendon pathology – Heel pain, swelling

- Plantar fasciitis – Heel pain
- Extensor, flexor and peroneal tendon pathologies (tendinosis, tenosynovitis) – Pain and swelling anterior, inner and outer sides of the ankle respectively.
- Syndesmotic and lateral collateral ligaments injury (ATFL) – From ankle-twisting injury, outer side pain

Ankle Ultrasound Procedure
First, you’ll be asked to lie or sit on the examination table and expose your Ankle.
The specialist places a small quantity of clear, water-based gel around your Ankle area.
This is painless, although it may feel cold at first. The gel acts as a lubricant so the ultrasound probe glides over your skin without causing discomfort.
Once you’re ready, the specialist places the ultrasound probe against your skin.
They move the probe around the area, capturing images of your ankle area as they go.
Once they’ve captured enough images to make a diagnosis, the scan is complete. You can then relax and remove the gel and get changed if necessary.
After the scan, the specialist reviews the images and provides a diagnosis if possible. If a diagnosis isn’t possible at this stage, further investigations will be recommended.
There’s no aftercare required following an ultrasound scan. You can go home immediately and resume your daily activities.
Pre-examination preparation.
No significant preparation is required for this test.
What happens after the exam?
There is no particular type of care required after a Ankle Ultrasound Scan You may resume your regular diet and daily activities unless your doctor advises you differently.
There are no confirmed adverse biological effects on patients or instrument operators caused by exposures to ultrasound at the intensity levels used in diagnostic ultrasound.
But depending on your particular results, the doctor may give you additional or alternative instructions after the procedure.

I met Dr Ayman today after booking in for a ultrasound following some concerns which I had. He checked me throughly and explained to me each step what he was doing and his findings. Following the scan he advised me that I had nothing to worry about – I left the clinic feeling very reassured and stress free. Not only is he a great Dr, he is a fantastic man – he kept my 4 year old daughter entertained whilst he was doing his work. I would recommend Dr Ayman and his practice for sure!
