The Importance of Pelvic Morphometric Measurements in Piriformis Syndrome: A Case-control Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Ultrasound guided diagnostic injection for Piriformis Muscle Syndrome and Anthropometry. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this case-control study, 23 patients diagnosed as PS by diagnostic injection with ultrasound guidance were selected as the study group. 22 patients who were excluded from the diagnosis of PS and had anteroposterior (AP) direct radiographic imaging were evaluated as the control group. On the AP Pelvic graph, the femoral neck-shaft angle, the distances between predetermined bony landmarks were measured blindly without knowing the diagnosis, and the findings were compared statistically. This study aims to evaluate whether the anatomical structure of the pelvis predisposes to the etiopathogenesis of the piriformis syndrome.

Timeline
Interventions
4 cc lidocaine %2 injection into the piriformis muscle was performed for the diagnosis of piriformis syndrome. It was performed by the ultrasound-guidance to increase the accuracy of the injection.
