Osteoarthritis has traditionally been imaged with conventional radiographs; this has been regarded as the reference technique in osteoarthritis for a long time. However, in recent years, innovative imaging techniques such as ultrasonography have been used to obtain a better understanding of this disease. This is mainly due to tremendous technical advances and progressive developments of ultrasound equipment occurring over the past decade. Ultrasonography has been demonstrated to be a valuable imaging technique in the diagnosis and management of osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Application of this imaging methodology for osteoarthritis has improved the understanding of the disease process and may aid in the assessment of the efficacy of future therapies. The execution of ultrasound-guided procedures with safety and reliability has a relevant significance in patient management of osteoarthritis of the hip joint. This paper reviews the use of ultrasound as an imaging technique for the evaluation and treatment of osteoarthritis hip joint.
传统上，骨关节炎是通过传统X线片进行成像的；长期以来，这一直被视为骨关节炎的参考技术。然而，近年来，诸如超声检查等创新成像技术已被用于更好地了解这种疾病。这主要归功于过去十年中超声设备取得的巨大技术进步和不断发展。超声检查已被证明是髋关节骨关节炎诊断和管理中的一种有价值的成像技术。这种成像方法在骨关节炎中的应用提高了对疾病过程的认识，并可能有助于评估未来治疗的疗效。安全可靠地实施超声引导程序在髋关节骨关节炎的患者管理中具有重要意义。本文综述了超声作为一种成像技术在髋关节骨关节炎评估和治疗中的应用。
