When evaluating patients with hip pain, clinicians may be trained to both evaluate for a hip effusion and perform ultrasound‐guided arthrocentesis to evaluate the etiology of the effusion. We present a novel 3‐dimensional‐printed hip arthrocentesis model, which can be used to train clinicians to perform both tasks under ultrasound guidance. Our model uses a combination of a 3‐dimensional‐printed hip joint, as well as readily available materials such as an infant Ambu (Ballerup, Denmark) bag, syringe, intravenous line kit, and silicone. We present our experience so that others may use and adapt our model for their training purposes.
