In order to properly diagnose the cause of hip pain, it is often necessary to perform both tests - X-ray and ultrasound. X-ray pictures show degenerative and productive changes in the bony parts of the hip. Ultrasound makes it possible to evaluate the soft structures surrounding the joint (ligaments, tendons, muscles, bursae) and allows for their evaluation in relation to the bone contours of the joint during hip movement (the so-called dynamic ultrasound examination). In some cases, it is necessary to perform magnetic resonance imaging, which is the only one to accurately assess the damage to the cartilage of the hip joint, labrum and other structures that are poorly accessible by ultrasound.
