What to expect:
The corticosteroid injection involves the administration of a corticosteroid medication directly into the hip joint. This anti-inflammatory medication can help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. Fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging is used to guide the needle precisely into the hip joint, ensuring accurate placement of the medication. Corticosteroid injections are often used to provide temporary relief from pain and inflammation. The effects may last for several weeks or months.
The hyaluronic acid injection involves injecting a gel-like material into the hip joint, also referred to as viscosupplementation. Synovial fluid, which lubricates and cushions the joints, contains hyaluronic acid. As with corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation is frequently carried out using X-ray guidance to guarantee a precise injection location in the hip joint. The goal of viscosupplementation is to lessen friction and increase joint lubrication, which may ease discomfort and enhance joint function. The effects may persist longer than corticosteroid shots.
Key Points:
- These injections are administered as outpatient procedures and are regarded as less invasive.
- The patient may be given a local anaesthetic to numb the hip region before the surgery.
- The accuracy and efficacy of the injection are improved by using X-ray guidance to guarantee that the needle is positioned precisely inside the joint region.
- Several variables, including the patient’s medical history, the intensity of their symptoms, and the advice of their treating physician, may influence the decision between hyaluronic acid injections and corticosteroid injections.
