Extremity Conditions

From reaching and grasping objects to walking, running, and maintaining balance, your extremities rely on a complex interplay between bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Unfortunately, injuries and conditions affecting these structures can significantly impact your mobility.

When you experience pain, weakness, or limitations in your upper or lower limbs, Tellica Imaging can be your partner in diagnosis. We offer a range of advanced imaging modalities to provide detailed visualizations of bones, soft tissues, and nerves in your extremities. 

The upper extremities comprise the shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist, and hand. It’s a region of unparalleled dexterity and sensitivity. Conditions affecting these regions typically involve problems with the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels. 

The shoulder, a ball-and-socket joint, provides exceptional range of motion, while the elbow acts as a hinge, allowing for flexion and extension. The wrist, a complex set of eight small bones, connects the hand to the forearm, offering remarkable dexterity. And finally, the hand is formed by an intricate network of bones, muscles, tendons, and nerves.

From reaching for objects to expressing ourselves through gestures, your hand and upper limbs are in constant motion, making them susceptible to conditions that range from minor sprains and overuse injuries to traumatic fractures.

The lower extremities form a complex and weight-bearing structure. This region is composed of the hip, knee, ankle, and foot. This intricate system of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels is essential for mobility, balance, and supporting the body’s weight. 

From the powerful muscles of the thigh to the intricate architecture of the foot, the lower extremity is a marvel of biomechanics. Conditions such as fractures, arthritis, tendonitis, and ligament sprains can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility and significantly impact your quality of life. 

This region is responsible for a multitude of actions, including:

• Supporting the body’s weight during standing, walking, and running
• Enabling movement through walking, running, jumping, and climbing
• Maintaining balance and stability and preventing falls
• Cushioning the impact of forces or shock on the body

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for restoring function and preventing further complications.

Advanced imaging technologies like CT scans and MRIs are essential for accurately diagnosing conditions of the upper and lower extremities. At Tellica Imaging, we use state-of-the-art equipment to provide clear and detailed images of the extremities.
