  2. Ultrasound-guided hip joint injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound-guided_hip...

    Ultrasound-guided hip joint injection is a joint injection in the hip, assisted by medical ultrasound. Hip and groin pain often presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The differential diagnosis is extensive, comprising intra-articular and extra-articular pathology and referred pain from lumbar spine, knee and elsewhere in the pelvis.

  3. Hip dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_dysplasia

    Hip dysplasia can be diagnosed by ultrasound [44] and projectional radiography ("X-ray"). [45] Ultrasound imaging is generally preferred at up to 4 months due to limited ossification of the femoral head up until then, and is the most accurate method for imaging of the hip during the first few months after birth. However, in most instances ...

  4. Transient synovitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_synovitis

    There is a limited range of motion of the hip joint. Nevertheless, children with transient synovitis of the hip can usually weight bear. This is an important clinical differentiating sign from septic arthritis. [8] Blood tests may show mild inflammation. An ultrasound scan of the hip joint can show a fluid collection .

  5. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

  6. Kocher criteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kocher_criteria

    The Kocher criteria are a tool useful in the differentiation of septic arthritis from transient synovitis in the child with a painful hip. [1] They are named for Mininder S. Kocher, an orthopaedic surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School.

  7. Radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiography

    Usually the hip (head of the femur), lower back (lumbar spine), or heel are imaged, and the bone density (amount of calcium) is determined and given a number (a T-score). It is not used for bone imaging, as the image quality is not good enough to make an accurate diagnostic image for fractures, inflammation, etc.

  8. Ultrasonography of deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonography_of_deep...

    Knee or hip replacement are, by themselves, not indications to perform the procedure. [ 2 ] Serial follow-up the ultrasound exam is not necessary after an initially complete, normal study in individuals with DVT symptoms who have suspected pulmonary embolism and nondiagnostic ventilation/perfusion scans .

  9. Emergency ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_ultrasound

    A portable ultrasound machine used in the prehospital setting. Emergency ultrasound is used to quickly diagnose a limited set of injuries or pathologic conditions, [4] specifically those where conventional diagnostic methods would either take too long or would introduce greater risk to a person (either by transporting the person away from the most closely monitored setting, or exposing them to ...
