Common Causes of Hip Pain
Injuries
Hip injuries are often the result of falls, accidents, or sports activities. Common injuries include:
- Hip Fractures: Breaks in the upper part of the femur, often due to high-impact trauma or osteoporosis.
- Dislocations: When the head of the femur is forced out of the hip socket.
- Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint, often from repetitive motions or acute injuries.
Chronic Conditions
Long-term health issues affecting the hip include:
- Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown and joint pain.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder leading to joint inflammation and pain.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the hip, often due to overuse.
Structural Issues
Problems with the structure of the hip joint can lead to pain and mobility issues:
- Hip Dysplasia: A condition where the hip socket is abnormally shallow.
- Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): Abnormal contact between the hip bones, leading to pain and cartilage damage.
- Snapping Hip Syndrome: A condition where a tendon or muscle moves over a bony protrusion in the hip.
