Abstract

Ultrasound can be used to identify and aspirate joint effusions as well as ensure the needle is not embedded within the redundant hip capsule. Ultrasound also allows for the direct visualization of capsular distention as the injectate enters the joint space. An in-plane technique with out-of-plane confirmation will be described. Live fluoroscopy with contrast visualization should be considered to avoid vascular uptake.
