Abstract

Purposes: To evaluate the initial results of ultrasound - guided synovial biopsy in the diagnosis of several coxofemoral joint diseases. Matherial and Method: The cross sectional descriptive study on the patients who had the indication and underwent the coxo-femoral joint ultrasound guided synovial biopsy. The biopsy samples were analyzed in the pathology, bacterial culture and tuberculosis PCR. Results: From 09/2020 to 10/2022, seventeen patients who had the indication and underwent the coxo-femoral ultrasound guided synovial biopsy at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Among them, one patient was failed to get biopsy sample, three patients suffered a bacterial infection, two patients had a tuberculosis and 10 patients had non-bacterial inflammation. There was no important complication and/or hemorrhage in/after synovial biopsy procedure. Conclusion: The coxo-femoral ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy was a safe, relatively simpliste and high effective method for the diagnosis of several coxo-femoral joint diseases when the other methods could not provide the clear diagnosis.
