Finding-the-Path: Hip aspiration
Aspiration of the right hip under fluoroscopic observation produced 10 ml of aseptic fluid. The patient was treated for synovitis.
Discussion
Widening of the tear drop distance of 1 mm or more in adults indicates hip joint effusion. In patients with hip pain, a radiograph of the pelvis should be included as part of the examination so that the hip joints can be compared.
