Abstract
An in-plane ultrasound-guided injection technique will be presented since it allows for continuous needle tip visualization. We recommend a combined ultrasound-fluoroscopy hybrid procedure utilizing ultrasound-guided needle placement followed by fluoroscopically visualized radiopaque contrast injection confirming nonvascular, intraarticular contrast flow.
