What is an Ultrasound Tibia and Fibula (Calf) Both?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Tibia and Fibula (Calf) Both allows your radiologist to examine:
- The tibia (shin bone)
- The fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg)
- The periosteum (outer membrane of the bone)
- Tendons and ligaments around the ankle and knee
- Muscles in the calf
- Blood vessels within the calf
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the tibia and fibula calf both.
