Hip joint aspiration technique

Hi there
This is my first time posting in this group.
I like to know what size needle do you use for hip joint aspiration. Also for those who use ultrasound which probe and in what orientation ?

Thanks

    I use 22G 3” to 3.5” spinal needle
    LAX curvilinear preferred but sometimes I only have a linear probe available which will work unless patient is very large.
