Hip Pain is one of the most common conditions that severely affects quality of life. Several causes of hip pain exist, including injuries, arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. Symptoms include stiffness or pain in the hip joint, which can sometimes extend into the thigh or groin. Such pain might also affect mobility and daily activities.
At Tender Palm Hospital, we offer multidisciplinary care to patients with hip pain. Our orthopedic specialists are well-equipped to diagnose and treat many conditions that cause hip pain.
The hip pain will lead to treatment. Some common surgical & non-surgical treatments are mentioned below:
Acetabular Labral Tear/Hip Labral Tear - A tear in the cartilage (labrum) that cushions the hip joint, causing pain, stiffness, and clicking sounds. It can result from injury, repetitive movements, or structural issues.
Adolescent Hip Dysplasia - A condition where the hip joint doesn’t develop properly in teenagers, leading to instability and a higher risk of arthritis. Early detection and treatment help prevent long-term damage.
Athletic Pubalgia (Sports Hernia) - A painful groin injury caused by muscle or tendon strain, common in athletes who make sudden twisting movements. It leads to persistent groin pain, especially during physical activity.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) - A situation where bone tissue in the hip deteriorates due to insufficient blood flow, leading to discomfort and rigidity in the joint. This condition can be triggered by trauma, the use of steroids, or certain medical issues.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) -
A congenital condition in which the hip joint is unstable or out of its proper position, impacting infants and young kids. Prompt intervention using a brace or surgical procedure assists in resolving the problem.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) - A condition where extra bone growth in the hip joint causes friction, leading to pain and limited movement. It can increase the risk of arthritis if untreated.
Groin Strain - A muscle or tendon injury in the inner thigh, often due to overstretching during sports or physical activity. It causes pain, swelling, and difficulty in movement.
Hip Fracture - A break in the hip bone, usually in older adults due to falls or osteoporosis. It causes severe pain and requires surgery for recovery.
Iliopsoas Tendonitis - Inflammation of the iliopsoas tendon, causing deep hip pain and stiffness, often triggered by repetitive movements like running or cycling.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease - A rare condition in childhood that causes the hip bone to become weakened from inadequate blood circulation, resulting in discomfort and a limp. Timely intervention can help avoid lasting damage to the joint.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) - A condition in growing children where the hip bone slips out of place, causing pain and difficulty walking. Immediate medical care is needed to prevent complications.
Transient Synovitis - A temporary inflammation of the hip joint, often in children, causing sudden pain and limping. It usually resolves on its own with rest and pain relief.
Trochanteric Bursitis - Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac) near the hip, leading to outer hip pain, especially when lying on the affected side. Rest, stretching, and medication help relieve symptoms.
