Hip Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Manage hip pain effectively with advanced joint injections using PRP, hyaluronic acid, or steroids.

What Hip Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Are

Hip joint injections are a treatment that delivers steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid directly into the hip joint to reduce inflammation, improve lubrication, and provide pain relief.

Treatment Description

This procedure helps relieve pain and inflammation in the hip joint, especially for conditions related to arthritis or injuries. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, PRP promotes healing, and hyaluronic acid enhances joint lubrication for improved function.

What It Includes

The treatment includes the injection of corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the hip joint, usually under imaging guidance (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) to ensure precise placement. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Hip Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Used For?

Hip joint injections are effective for treating conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, hip impingement syndrome, labral tears, tendonitis, and post-surgical pain.

Hip Osteoarthritis
Eases joint pain, stiffness, and swelling caused by arthritis, improving mobility and reducing inflammation in the hip joint.
Bursitis
Reduces inflammation and pain in the hip bursa, improving movement and alleviating discomfort caused by hip bursitis.
Tendonitis
Alleviates pain and inflammation in the hip tendons, particularly in conditions like greater trochanteric pain syndrome or hip flexor tendonitis.
Hip Labral Tears
Helps reduce pain and inflammation caused by tears in the hip labrum, improving joint function and decreasing discomfort during movement.
Post-Surgical Pain
Reduces pain and inflammation after hip surgery, promoting recovery and improving mobility in the affected hip joint.
Hip Impingement Syndrome
Provides relief from pain and stiffness due to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), improving function and joint movement.
Synovitis
Reduces inflammation of the synovial membrane in the hip joint, improving function and reducing discomfort caused by inflammation.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Hip Pain
Without hip joint injections, chronic pain caused by inflammation or joint dysfunction may persist, affecting mobility and quality of life.
Reduced Range of Motion
Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness in the hip joint, limiting movements like walking, bending, or climbing stairs.
Prolonged Inflammation
Untreated inflammation in the hip joint can worsen over time, exacerbating discomfort and slowing recovery.
Weakness in the Leg
Failing to manage hip joint pain can result in weakened muscles, affecting stability and overall leg strength.
Risk of Chronic Joint Degeneration
Without timely intervention, joint conditions may progress to arthritis or long-term damage, potentially requiring surgical treatments in the future.
