Video: Ultrasound-guided intervention at the posterior hip

The purpose of this video article is to demonstrate sonographic anatomy at the posterior hip and to describe a number of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that may be performed at this location with sonographic guidance. Injection techniques at the piriformis muscle, ischial bursa, hamstring origin, and ischiofemoral space are described and demonstrated.

Ultrasound is well adapted to the evaluation and treatment of conditions encountered at the posterior hip. Sonographic guidance is a useful tool that allows a trained operator to safely and effectively perform a range of injections.
