A new path for ultrasound-guided intra-articular hip puncture in patients without hip joint effusion.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to establish a new path for ultrasound (US)-guided intra-articular hip joint puncture in patients without hip joint effusion.

Methods

In total, 113 consecutive patients were enrolled from August to October 2021. Moreover, 125 hip joint punctures were performed in 113 consecutive patients. All patients were randomly divided into two groups: the new-puncture path (the puncture of the needle along the long axis of the femoral neck from the proximal to the distal side) and classic-puncture path (the puncture of the needle along the long axis of the femoral neck from the distal to the proximal side) groups. Four outcomes, including single-puncture technical success, visual analog scale (VAS) score during puncture, puncture depth, and puncture time, were
