Abstract
Hip pain is a common clinical complaint arising from various causes. Although hip X-ray is simple and widely available, it provides limited information regarding soft tissue pathologies around the hip joint. Ultrasonography (US) is increasingly used to evaluate pathologies of both intra-articular and extra-articular soft tissues including muscles, tendons, and bursae. Moreover, US allows dynamic evaluation, and is also a valuable tool in guiding intervention around the hip joint for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This article provides a comprehensive review of US evaluation and intervention of the hip. ? 2012.
