    Author: Howard CB, Eihoran M, Dagan R, Nyska M.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1993; 29(2-3):77-81. PubMed ID: 8468174.
    Abstract:
    The use of ultrasound in the evaluation of effusion of the hip is well established. We performed ultrasound examinations on 87 children who presented with a limp and with pain in the hip region. We confirm the diagnostic value of ultrasound in detecting an effusion in the hip. Furthermore, ultrasound examination revealed effusion in two cases (psoas myositis), an unexpected effusion in the contralateral hip in two cases, and the cause of the pain in eight cases without effusion.
