1/n Acute right hip pain on the background of subacute migratory polyarthritis, probably reactive. #POCUS helped diagnosis of right hip effusion, consistent with synovitis. Normal left hip joint image for comparison, showing no effusion.

2/n Joint aspirated. Low clinical suspicion of septic arthritis, thus simultaneously injected with triamcinolone+lidocaine (rheumatology colleagues supported the decision).
3/3 IMHO hip aspiration, though not commonly done by EM, is an easy skill for ##EMPOCUS provider who already does US guided vascular access. Reduced ED LoS to 4 h in this case (very supportive rheumatology followup). Moreover patient was very satisfied with symptom relief.
