Intra-articular hip pathology is commonly found in patients with greater trochanteric
pain syndrome and may be a possible pain generator in patients with recalcitrant
lateral hip pain.

The trochanteric syndrome has different symptoms. The most common of which are pain
in the outer bottom/thigh/buttock area, especially when lying on your side or walking,
standing or running for a long period. Sitting with your legs crossed can also cause
pain.

One of the possible medical ways to diagnose this disease is by conducting a diagnostic
ultrasound. It is an imaging modality with high PPV diagnosis results.

In most cases, the diagnostic ultrasound indicates the presence of an inflammation
issue. Such a problem requires hip intra-articular injections.

Intra-articular steroid injection of the hip refers to an injection into the hip
joint. The synthetic steroid used in the injection is similar to a steroid our body
naturally produces and is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

To ensure the success and the rapidity of such injection, many advanced medical 
devices have been used by doctors. The Mini Linear Handheld WiFi Ultrasound Scanner
10-12-14 MHz, [SIFULTRAS-3.5](https://sifsof.com/product/linear-handheld-wifi-ultrasound-scanner-10-12-14-mhz-sifultras-3-5/)
is seemingly one of the most effective devices used so far.

Intra-articular steroid injection consists of injecting the steroid with a syringe
and small needle into the targeted area. SIFULTRAS-3.5 is specifically designed 
to perform this exact task accurately and correctly. The device actually includes
a needle guide which provides more accurate needle placement in all the body joints
including the hip.

Another advantage of the SIFULTRAS-3.5 guided procedures is the control of the needle
insertion path and, if needed, the possibility to modify the needle depth or angle
without the risk of damaging adjacent structures.

Accordingly, the [SIFULTRAS-3.5 ](https://sifsof.com/product/linear-handheld-wifi-ultrasound-scanner-10-12-14-mhz-sifultras-3-5/)
allows the practitioner to visualize the needle in real-time as it enters the body
and traverses to the desired location. This assures that the medication is accurately
injected at the intended site.

Hip intra-articular and trochanteric syndrome injections require high-level proficiency
and very advanced devices to be successfully done. The Mini Linear Handheld WiFi
Ultrasound Scanner 10-12-14 MHz, SIFULTRAS-3.5 is among the most suitable devices
designed to perform these specific injections correctly.
