Abstract
Intra-articular injections of the hip can be performed to treat a number of pathologic conditions. The drugs administered in these cases may be anti-inflammatory agents, such as steroids that may be indicated for patients with advanced hip osteoarthritis (OA) refractory to other treatments or viscosupplementants, such as hyaluronic acid, that can be used to treat patients with mild to moderate OA. Anesthetics may be injected for diagnostic purposes to differentiate intra- and extra-articular pathology.
