hip disorders

Hip disorders refer to conditions that cause pain, discomfort, or movement issues in the hip joint, which connects the thigh bone to the pelvis. Common problems include osteoarthritis (wear and tear of cartilage), bursitis (inflammation of fluid-filled sacs), tendinitis (inflammation of tendons), labral tears (injury to the cartilage ring), fractures, and developmental issues like hip dysplasia. These conditions can result from aging, injury, overuse, or congenital factors. Symptoms often include pain, stiffness, limited mobility, and clicking or locking sensations. Proper diagnosis and tailored treatment can help manage symptoms and restore function.
