How Intra-articular Injection is performed
Under sterile conditions and real-time ultrasound guidance, the hip joint structure, blood vessels, and nerves are visualized. A common practice is to enter the joint cavity with a fine needle, confirm the position, inject the selected drug (such as corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or autologous platelet concentrate), and observe for a short time. The goal is to reduce inflammation and pain and improve range of motion.
