Ultrasound has emerged as one of the most utilized tools to diagnose
musculoskeletal disorders and to assist in interventions. Traditionally,
sonographic examination of the hip joint has been challenging because most of the
major structures are deeply situated, thus requiring the use of curvilinear
transducer for better penetrance. The posterior lateral hip is a frequent area
for musculoskeletal pain and nerve entrapments. Common disorders include greater
trochanteric pain syndrome, gluteus medius tendinopathy, piriformis syndrome,
pudendal neuralgia, and proximal hamstring tendinopathy. The present review
article aims to delineate sonoanatomy of the posterior lateral hip and to
exemplify several common ultrasound guided procedures at the greater
trochanteric, gluteal, and ischial tuberosity regions.
