A focused ultrasound exam of a single joint or related structure in an arm or leg that looks at one specific area rather than fully evaluating the whole joint. It's used to check for fluid buildup, a cyst, or another specific finding in or around the joint. It's a quicker, narrower exam than a complete extremity joint ultrasound that examines multiple structures.
