COMMON HIP CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Our specialty-trained hip surgeons can diagnose your pain, leading to treatment that can get you feeling better soon. Common hip conditions include:
Osteoarthritis: Gradual wear and tear of the hip joint leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
Hip Dislocations: Instability or misalignment of the joint, often following trauma, which can cause significant discomfort.
Hip Fractures: Breaks in the hip bone that typically occur after falls or injuries, resulting in acute pain and impaired function.
Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage around the hip socket that may cause clicking sounds, sharp pain, and reduced range of motion.
Femoroacetabular (Hip Joint) Impingement (FAI): Abnormal contact between the hip bones that leads to joint stiffness, pain, and limited movement.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains or strains affecting muscles, tendons, or ligaments around the hip that contribute to discomfort and instability.
Hip Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip joint, leading to sharp, localized pain on the outer hip, tenderness, and discomfort during movement or when pressure is applied.
Hip Dysplasia: A developmental condition where the hip socket is shallow or misaligned, resulting in joint instability, chronic pain during weight-bearing activities, and a higher risk of early-onset arthritis.
Hip Flexor Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons connecting the hip flexor muscles, causing pain at the front of the hip, discomfort during active movement, and potential weakness from repetitive strain.
Abductor Tendon Tear: A partial or complete rupture of the gluteus medius or minimus tendon at the hip, often resulting in lateral hip pain, weakness, and difficulty with walking, particularly stair climbing or single-leg activities
Proximal Hamstring Tear: A partial or complete rupture of the hamstring tendon at its attachment near the sit bone (ischial tuberosity), often caused by sudden hip flexion with knee extension, leading to pain, weakness, and difficulty with running or bending forward.
