To evaluate the hip for an effusion with POCUS begin just medial to the ASIS, in a slightly oblique-sagittal plane. This will give you a longitudinal view of the hip joint. Identify the femoral head and acetabulum, followed by the femoral neck inferiorly. Hip effusions typically appear as an anechoic collection at the femoral head that extends to the femoral neck. You may also visualize effusions from the lateral position of the patient. #Clinical #Anatomy #EM #Radiology #Ortho #POCUS #Hip #Longitudinal #Pyomyositis #SonoStuff
