Abstract:
Thorough history taking and physical examination are highly important for the correct diagnosis of hip disease, and several diagnostic imaging tools are available depending on suspected diseases. Recently, the clinical use of ultrasonography has been increasing due to its relatively low cost, less invasiveness, and the possibility for dynamic evaluation. The purpose of this article was to review the basic technique and normal anatomic images for the clinical usage of ultrasonography around the hip joint and describe typical ultrasonographic findings of several hip diseases.
