A colleague of mine has a patient who sustained pelvic fractures from horeseback riding accident approximately two months ago and has a moderately sized hematoma along superior glute max (area we needle for inf. gluteal site). Is it safe to needle this or stay away? Thanks!
hi Sarah-
I would use 1/2″ needles as long as you are below the iliac crest, around the area of hematoma. So sort of “Circle” the area if you will. you can add needles in the center as well…again…1/2″. leave in for 30 minutes at a time, every other day. Should see some immediate changes.Keep us posted!
