Abstract
Pain around the hip and pelvis is a very common condition. Pain may be generated within
the joint space (i.e. the hip joint itself, the sacroiliac joints or the pubic symphysis)
or from surrounding myotendinous, bursal, or nerve structures. Over the years, percutaneous
musculoskeletal procedures have become increasingly popular to diagnose and treat
painful conditions around the hip and the pelvis. Most intra- and extra-articular
procedures are performed under ultrasound guidance. This article reviews the most
common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that can be performed around the hip
and the pelvis under ultrasound guidance.
