US-guided greater trochanteric bursa HCLA injection
Preliminary ultrasound demonstrated the left greater trochanteric bursa distended with anechoic fluid. The patient was focally tender to probe pressure.
In-plane approach. 25-gauge needle inserted under ultrasound guidance. HCLA injected (in this case 1ml 5.7 mg betamethasone + 3 ml 0.5% bupivacaine). The bursa can be seen to distend.
