Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and accuracy of single-plane and real-time biplane ultrasound imaging in guiding hip joint injections and explore the application effects of imaging technology in hip joint injections.

Detailed description

Real-time biplane imaging, an emerging ultrasound technology, uses a three-dimensional (3D) matrix transducer to display simultaneously he longitudinal and transverse intersecting planes on a single screen without requiring rotation of the transducer. The modality displays the puncture path in real-time and exhibits the spatial relationship between the needle tip and the target site, as well as surrounding structures during guided puncture. This technology significantly improves the puncture success rate and reduces complication rates in procedures such as the placement of intrahepatic bile duct drains and central venous catheters. However, this technology has not yet been implemented for hip joint injections. Therefore, we compared the safety and accuracy of single-plane and real-time biplane ultrasound imaging in guiding hip joint injections and explored the application effects of imaging technology in hip joint injections.

Interventions

After the puncture needle is in the skin, the longitudinal section of the Xplane mode can be adjusted to keep the needle in the proposed plane.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The first-attempt success rateduring operationThe proportion of successful entries into the anterior synovial recess and completion of medication injection on the first needle insertion, without adjusting needle tip direction
The final success rateduring operationThe proportion of successful medication injections completed with no more than two needle insertions

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Puncture timeduring operationThe duration from the insertion of the puncture needle into the skin until saline can be injected into the joint cavity without significant resistance
The number of needle adjustmentsduring operationThe number of times the puncture needle was retracted slightly and the insertion direction was adjusted upon noticing that the needle tip had deviated from the intended trajectory
The operator confidence scoreduring operationBased on the operator's level of confidence during the puncture process, with 1 point indicating a lack of confidence in the success of the first attempt, 2 points indicating moderate confidence, and 3 points indicating strong confidence
Complicationsduring operationRefer to adverse reactions occurring during the puncture process, including hematomas resulting from damage to surrounding blood vessels, pain or numbness due to nerve injury, toxic reactions caused by anesthetic entering the bloodstream, and postoperative infections
