Radiography and ultrasound: how far can you go?
Davide Orlandi, GENOVA / Italy
1. To differentiate the strengths and weaknesses of conventional radiography in assessing the structural integrity of a hip implant (THA).
2. To show the correct ultrasound examination technique of soft tissues around THA, including assessment of periprosthetic pathologic conditions such as inflammatory pseudotumor, infections, and soft tissue impingement.
3. To realise the real-time capabilities of ultrasound, providing a valuable dynamic assessment of hip muscles and tendons functional status and furnishing an excellent tool for the guidance of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures, such as periprosthetic fluid collection aspiration
and postoperative hematoma drainage.
