Abstract
Evaluation of the child presenting with an irritable hip often requires aspiration of the hip. There are various methods for doing this procedure. We present a new technique for hip aspiration using high-resolution ultrasound imaging with color Doppler and a needle guide. This technique maximizes chances for a successful aspiration, minimizes risks to the child, avoids radiation exposure, and is easy to do and teach.
