Ultrasound-Guided Interventional Procedures in Pain Medicine: A Review of Anatomy, Sonoanatomy, and Procedures. Part IV: Hip

Abstract Ultrasound-guided injection in pain medicine is emerging as a popular technique for pain intervention. It can be applied for the intervention procedures in the hip region. The objectives of this review article were to review the relevant anatomy and sonoanatomy of the hip joint and the trochanteric bursae, to describe the techniques for ultrasound-guided injections, and to examine the efficacy and accuracy of such injections.
