Lower Extremities
In medicine, the lower extremity is called the leg. The leg starts at the buttocks and hip and runs through the thigh, knee joint, lower leg, ankle joint to the foot. The leg consists of numerous bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood and lymph vessels. All these structures can become conspicuous due to injuries, incorrect strain, inflammations and tumors. Depending on the supposed cause of the symptoms, ultrasound examinations, X-rays, scintigraphies, magnetic resonance tomographies or computer tomographies of individual structures are made (e.g. MR knee joint, X-ray forefoot, CT ankle joint, skeletal scintigraphy with SPECT/CT).

Diagnosis of Hip and Pelvic Diseases and Injuries at RadCare: Accuracy and Advanced Diagnosis
The hip is one of the main joints that supports body movement and weight distribution. Due to continuous pressure and intensive use, it may be prone to many medical conditions and injuries that require accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan.
Common Conditions Associated with the Hip and Pelvis:
- Hip Osteoarthritis:
- A degenerative condition affecting the joint due to the gradual wear of cartilage.
- Causes pain and stiffness, especially during movement.
- Diagnosed using X-rays to assess joint wear, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine the extent of damage to surrounding tissues.
- Femoral Neck Fractures:
- A common condition in older adults due to osteoporosis or injuries.
- Diagnosed using X-rays, and Computed Tomography (CT) may be used for precise surgical planning.
Techniques Used at RadCare for Diagnosing Hip and Pelvic Diseases and Injuries:
- X-Ray:
- A primary technique used to assess conditions like osteoporosis or hip osteoarthritis.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
- Provides detailed images of soft tissues, cartilage, and ligaments surrounding the joint.
- Computed Tomography (CT):
- Used to assess fractures in three dimensions, which helps in accurate surgical planning.
