Notes: MRI arthrogram of both hips were reviewed. No evidence of labral tear. No further ossific abnormality noted
I had a long discussion with the patient. I did describe getting her in physical therapy. I did describe doing a one-time steroid injection into the left hip to see how she would respond to this. She was in agreement. We are also going to obtain rheumatologic labs. All questions were answered.
Procedures:
The patient was placed in the supine position. US was placed anteriorly and the femoral head/neck junction was visualized. The skin was prepped. Under sterile technique, using US guidance the needle was placed into the left hip joint. 2cc kenalog and 4cc of marcaine were injected. Patient tolerated procedure well. I did describe infection and flare reaction. All questions were answered.
