Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Guohua
Optimal treatment for hip joint effusion includes physical therapies such as shortwave diathermy and microwave therapy. If the effusion is substantial, therapeutic joint aspiration (paracentesis) may be performed. In severe cases, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery at a local hospital may be required, which generally yields excellent therapeutic outcomes.
