Hip and Knee Injections 

Hip pain

Hip Injection

Hip injections are becoming increasingly common due to the ability to accurately guide them with ultrasound imaging instead of relying on x-rays or CT scans. Generally, hip injections are intra-articular (in the joint cavity) and used to treat osteoarthritis, labral pathology, or hip impingement. additionally, injections to the outer aspect of the hip, also known as the trochanteric region, can be used to treat inflammation of the hip bursa or gluteal tendinopathy.

Knee Injection

Knee injections can vary depending on the condition, but are usually intra-articular (in the joint cavity). The most common entry point is on the inside of the knee, and ultrasound imaging helps guide the needle into the joint cavity. Alternatively, techniques can be used for swollen knees, which allow for fluid aspiration before the injection. Other extra-articular (outside the joint capsule) knee injections can also be used to treat certain conditions alongside good-quality rehabilitation.
