Treatment of Hip Osteoarthritis: Image-Guided Intra-Articular Injection

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses symptomatic hip osteoarthritis managed with an intra-articular injection approach. It provides a structured, evidence-based regimen for direct delivery of therapy into the hip joint under imaging guidance.

Treatment Approach

The structured regimen involves an image-guided intra-articular injection technique directed at the hip joint. The full protocol — including the specific agent, procedural details, and supporting guidance — is outlined in the complete regimen.

Full dosing, sequencing, and procedural specifications are in the complete protocol below.

In terms of intra-articular therapies, all of the guidelines recommended intra-articular corticosteroid (IACS) injections for the knee and hip, with most providing a weak or conditional recommendation and ACR/AF providing a strong recommendation; for the hip, the ACR/AF also strongly recommended ultrasound guidance for intra-articular therapy.
