Intrarticular Hip Injections

Intraarticular hip injections are utilized for patients who have degenerative joint disease of the hip or osteoarthritis. This hip pain can be resolved with a simple application or injection of steroid to inside the joint capsule. This is accomplished by taking the patient to the operating room, and under direct fluoroscopic guidance, visualizing the joint space and placing the needle directly into the joint space. This injection can also be done under ultrasound guidance in the clinic setting as well.
