Ultrasound-guided injections of the knee and hip joints
Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management, 09/25/09

Cheng PH et al. – Intra–articular knee and hip injections have been a mainstay for the treatment of peripheral joint pain. Although these injections are routinely performed using a blind technique, when compared with fluoroscopically guided injections, reported accuracy of needle placement is highly variable. Ultrasound (US)–guided injections provide a reasonable alternative for ensuring accurate, intra–articular needle placement, without the risks associated with radiation exposure from fluoroscopy. This article presents suitable techniques for performing US–guided intra–articular knee and hip injections. With appropriate training, it would be feasible for physicians to incorporate US–guided injections into their clinical practices.
