Article Synopsis
- Hip osteoarthritis (OA) often requires pain management, and intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACSI) are recommended, typically guided by ultrasound (USG) or fluoroscopy (FG), but it's unclear which method is better.
- A systematic review of studies on USG and FG IACSI was conducted, yielding eight studies with no direct comparisons between the two guidance techniques.
- The findings indicate both methods effectively reduce pain after one month, but network meta-analyses favored FG IACSI; however, more high-quality research is necessary to definitively choose a preferred technique.
