Short summary
This paper describes an ultrasound guided technique for aspiration of hip arthroplasties that has not been published. We believe this technique is important because it yields useful fluid 99 % of the time with low contamination rate (2 %). Ultrasound, although common in Europe, is gaining popularity in the United States. Besides teaching a useful technique, this paper also discusses findings of lavage-obtained samples which are rarely discussed in other aspiration papers.
