Anterior Electronic Hip Pain Drawings Are Helpful for Diagnosis of Intra-articular Sources of Pain: Lateral or Posterior Drawings Are Unreliable

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of electronic hip pain drawing to diagnose intra-articular source of pain in nonarthritic hips, defined by response to an intra-articular injection.

Methods

A retrospective assessment was performed in consecutive patients who had an intra-articular injection completed within a 1-year period. Patients were classified as responders or nonresponders to intra-articular hip injection. A positive injection was defined as greater than 50% hip pain relief within 2 hours after injection. Electronic pain drawings collected before injection were then evaluated according to the hip region marked by the patients.

Results

Eighty-three patients were studied after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Anterior
