The acetabulofemoral joint (art. coxae) is the hip joint. It is the joint between the head of the femur and acetabulum of the pelvis and its primary function is to support the weight of the body in both static (e.g., standing) and dynamic (e.g., walking or running) postures.

One of the most common injuries in seniors is injuries in the acetabulofemoral joint. That is, hip fractures after suffering a fall.

It tends to happen due to muscle weakness, balance problems, impaired vision, chronic illness, side effects from medications, or a wet bathtub or floor.

Such kind of injuries requires fast examination to guarantee faster recovery.

Ultrasonography is frequently employed here to quickly locate the place of the joint pain and find the suitable treatment. Several ultrasound devices are being used by Orthopedist in this regard.

The Wireless Mini-Linear Ultrasound Scanner ML2CD Color Doppler and the USB Linear 6-15MHz Ultrasound Scanner ML2CD are among the first recommendations.

The first device; USB-UL3 is a 6-5MHz Linear Ultrasound Probe. It has multiple frequencies from 6 to 15MHz and a scanning mode of  B,B+B,B+m with high-resolution imaging for Superficial applications such as Muskuloskeletal which is the exact needed in this case.

The second device; SIFULTRAS-9.54 displays a 5-14 MHz Frequency range. It allows the user to control the depth and assess the depth of the needle. This makes these medical procedures simpler which Increases, in return, the device’s efficiency and of course patients’ satisfaction.

Both devices the SIFULTRAS-3.54 and the SIFULTRAS-9.54 are suitable to aid physicians. It doesn’t only serve as a diagnostic tool but also as a guide for procedure. Procedures such as; PICC, IV, nerve block, midline, insertion of the catheter, etc.

Both scanner models are also highly recommended for use in pain management. It is surely effective with puncture, injection guidance, and interventional therapy. These are the exact treatments/procedures needed in controlling Coxofemoral Joint pain.

Coxofemoral joint injuries are very common and serious injuries that require immediate medical interference in order to decrease the pain. The SIFULTRAS-3.54 and the SIFULTRAS-9.54 can help in the healing process as they are specifically designed for pain management.
