Figure 1
The iliopsoas tendon (*) is encircled by the iliacus muscle when the hip is flexed and externally rotated (A). The iliopsoas tendon abruptly glided medially when the hip is extended to the neutral position (B). A flash (arrow) of the iliopsoas tendon is visualized during repeated hip flexion and extension (C). Ultrasound guided hydrodilatation with a mixture of 5 mL 50% dextrose and 5 mL 1% lidocaine is introduced between the iliacus muscle and iliopsoas tendon (D). Arrowhead: anterior inferior iliac spine; White circles: iliofemoral ligament. Abbreviations: ICS (L), iliacus muscle (lateral compartment); ICS (M), iliacus muscle (medial compartment); PSO, psoas muscle; SAR, sartorius muscle; SPR, superior pubic ramus
