Handheld Orthopedic Ultrasound for MSK and Injections

Every scan on this page was recorded on this Suresult hardware family, by clinicians who bought it and by a clinical trainer who scans with it. Each clip is trimmed to the scan itself. ·Trusted by 8,717 clinicians →

Quick answer

A handheld orthopedic ultrasound is a wireless linear-array scanner that images musculoskeletal soft tissue and guides needle placement at the point of care.

The L14Pro runs a 256-element linear array at 10/14 MHz and reaches 80 mm, deep enough for gluteal targets as well as tendon work.
Every Suresult linear model on this page carries an in-plane and out-plane puncture guide, so the needle path sits on screen before the injection.
The L20Pro images at 16/20 MHz across the first 40 mm, which is the range that finger joints and tendon sheaths need.
Suresult software is included with the scanner, runs on Windows as well as iOS and Android, and exports DICOM.

Technique basics

How the exam comes together, probe to report

Start on a high-frequency linear head.
Orthopedic targets sit within 80 mm of the skin, so a linear array does the work. The L14Pro runs 10/14 MHz across a 25 mm footprint.
L14Pro: 10/14 MHz, 256 elements
Select the MSK preset, then set depth to the target.
A wrist or a finger reads at 20 mm. Hip and gluteal work needs the depth pushed out, which is where the L10SH reaches 100 mm.
Depth scale runs past 80 mm on this hip frame
Scan the healthy side before calling anything abnormal.
Tendon echotexture varies between patients, so the other limb is the reference. Cine loops of 100 to 1000 frames hold both sides for comparison.
Cine buffer reads 100 of 100 frames
Turn on the puncture guide before the needle goes in.
The guide draws the needle path over the live image and prints its offset and angle. Buyer captures on this page run from 40 to 80 degrees depending on the plane.
In-plane guide at 25.5 mm and 66 degrees

What the research says

The evidence, three studies checked

Ultrasound guidance changed the outcome of a knee injection.
In 94 osteoarthritic knees randomized to palpation or sonographic guidance, guidance cut procedural pain by 48% and raised the responder rate by 107%.
Sibbitt et al., J Clin Rheumatol 2011
Ultrasound detected occult scaphoid fractures at high rates.
A meta-analysis of six diagnostic studies covering 236 patients reported a mean sensitivity of 88.95% and a mean specificity of 89.50% for occult scaphoid fracture.
Ali et al., J Ultrason 2018
For full-thickness rotator cuff tears, the operator's specialty did not change accuracy.
Pooled sensitivity and specificity for ultrasound exceeded 0.90 for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Accuracy was similar whether a trained radiologist, sonographer or orthopedist performed the scan.
Roy et al., Br J Sports Med 2015

What to Consider Before Buying a Handheld Ultrasound for Orthopedics

Choose the ideal device for orthopedics imaging with a wide frequency range and dynamic capabilities.

Before you buy

구매 전 확인해야 할 사항

What is the best handheld ultrasound for orthopedic surgery?

The Suresult L14Pro is the strongest starting model: a 256-element linear array at 10/14 MHz that reaches 80 mm. For hip and posterior thigh work the L10SH reaches 100 mm on a 40 mm footprint. For finger joints and tendon sheaths the L20Pro images at 16/20 MHz.

Can a handheld ultrasound guide a joint injection?

Yes. Every Suresult linear model on this page draws an in-plane or out-plane needle path over the live image and prints its offset and angle. A 2011 randomized trial of 94 osteoarthritic knees found sonographic guidance cut procedural pain by 48% and raised the responder rate by 107%.

What frequency do I need for musculoskeletal ultrasound?

Most orthopedic targets are read at 10 to 14 MHz, which is the L14Pro range. Finger joints and tendon sheaths gain from the 16/20 MHz of the L20Pro. Hip and gluteal depth is better served by 7.5/10 MHz on the L10SH.

How deep does a handheld linear probe reach?

The Suresult L10SH and the D3Ultra linear head both reach 100 mm. The L14Pro reaches 80 mm and the L20Pro reaches 40 mm. Depth steps are selected in the app during the scan.

Can ultrasound find a scaphoid fracture?

A 2018 meta-analysis of six studies and 236 patients reported a mean sensitivity of 88.95% and a mean specificity of 89.50% for occult scaphoid fracture. The scan looks for cortical interruption and joint effusion. Confirmatory imaging still applies when a scan is negative and pain persists.

Is ultrasound accurate for rotator cuff tears?

For full-thickness rotator cuff tears, pooled sensitivity and specificity for ultrasound exceeded 0.90 in a 2015 meta-analysis. That review also found accuracy was similar whether a trained radiologist, sonographer or orthopedist performed the scan.

How much does a handheld orthopedic ultrasound cost?

A Suresult linear scanner on this page runs from $2,139 for the L14 to $3,720 for the L20Pro, with the software included. Clarius publishes $3,795 for the L15 HD3 and $5,395 for the L20 HD3, each with $695 a year for essentials.

Do Suresult scanners need a software subscription?

No. Color Doppler, measurements, the puncture guide and DICOM export are included with every Suresult model on this page. Butterfly publishes membership at $299 a year for Core and $420 a year for Advanced, or $1,500 for five years.

Which model suits a clinic that also wants abdominal and cardiac scanning?

The Suresult D3Ultra carries a linear head plus convex and phased heads in one 263 g probe. Its linear depth runs from 20 to 100 mm, and its convex depth reaches 300 mm.

Does a Suresult scanner work on a Windows tablet?

Yes. Suresult software runs on Windows as well as iOS and Android. Butterfly publishes support for compatible iPhone and Android devices, and the Vscan Air app is published for Android and Apple phones and tablets.

Can I document an orthopedic scan for the record?

Yes. Every Suresult model on this page saves still frames and cine loops of 100 to 1000 frames, and exports JPEG, PNG, MP4 or DICOM from the app.

Which Suresult model has visualized needle guidance?

The Suresult L10H is the model whose published puncture-assist list includes visualized needle guidance. The L10H battery runs 5 hours of continuous scanning.

Is a handheld enough, or does an orthopedic practice need a cart system?

A Suresult handheld covers tendon and joint imaging with needle guidance at the point of care. Elastography and full quantitative reporting stay on a cart system.

Linear Array Probe (7–14 MHz)

Used for superficial structures like tendons, ligaments, and joint surfaces.

Convex Probe (2–5 MHz)

Used for scanning deeper joint areas such as hips and pelvis.

Doppler with PW/CW

To evaluate vascular flow in inflamed or compromised tissues.

Needle Enhancement Mode

To visualize and guide precise needle placement during aspirations and joint injections.

Dynamic Imaging Capabilities

To assess tendon glides, ligament stress, and impingement in motion.

Easy Image Sharing and EMR Connectivity

Great for seamless image archiving, documentation uploads, and remote consultations.

자주 묻는 질문

Can I use a Suresult ultrasound device for guided joint injections?

Yes. Suresult devices with high-frequency linear probes and needle visualization tools are excellent for guided injections and aspirations. The L10H-Guide model even adds dynamic needle enhancement for challenging cases.

Can Suresult ultrasound scan deep structures like the hip?

Yes. Suresult’s convex probes (2–5 MHz) offer deep penetration and clear resolution, making them ideal for imaging deeper joints like the hip, comparable to standard full-sized machines.

Is the Suresult ultrasound device easy to carry and use in the field?

All Suresult handheld ultrasounds are compact, weigh under 300g, and fit in your coat pocket. They’re also built with high-grade materials, are drop-tested, and rated for water and dust resistance. Which means you can carry them to house calls, sidelines, or satellite clinics. Just wirelessly connect to any phone or tablet and start scanning instantly.

Can I use Suresult ultrasound for post-op monitoring?

Yes. You can track tendon healing, check for fluid collections, or monitor scar tissue using either linear or convex probes. All the scans will be saved directly to your iOS or Android device in EMR-ready format for seamless record-keeping and sharing.

Do I need special training to use handheld ultrasounds effectively?

Not much if you’re already familiar with MSK POCUS or other ultrasound systems. Most users can get comfortable within hours. We also offer onboarding support if you’d like extra help.
