Hip

Hip pain can be the result of a condition that has developed over time, such as bursitis and arthritis, or of a recent hip injury, such as a hip fracture or hip dislocation.

​

In some cases, and if not detected early, conditions such as hip bursitis and hip arthritis may create extreme bone and joint discomfort, making surgery a credible option for relieving your hip pain. The most frequent causes for pain in the hip can be related to an orthopaedic condition that has emerged over time.

​

Signs and symptoms of hip pain include:

• Joint pain felt in the front of the hip, along the outside of the hip, in the groin, or over the buttock area

• Discomfort and swelling in the thigh and knee

• Joint inflammation or hip muscle spasms, which may cause fluid accumulation in the hip joint

• Limping or the inability to walk comfortably on the affected side

• Inability to bend or rotate the hip

• Soreness and the feeling of the hip throbbing while sleeping or resting

• Fever, redness, and warmth—which are signs of infection

​

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, you may have a hip condition, such as hip osteoarthritis, hip bursitis, hip arthritis, or an injury like a fractured hip, dislocated hip, hip flexor injury, or labral tear.
