Accuracy and Outcome of Sonographically Guided Intra-articular Sodium Hyaluronate Injections in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Hip

Abstract

Sonographically guided intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate for patients with hip osteoarthritis is easy to perform and is a safe, economical, and well-tolerated form of treatment. In contrast to fluoroscopic or computed tomographic guidance, the sonographic technique exposes neither the patient nor the physician to radiation.
