Hip Injuries

There are certain factors that can put people at higher risk for hip labral tears, including trauma, hip impingement, and structural abnormalities.

Twenty-one muscles cross the hip joint. These muscles work with the hip tendons and ligaments to enable joint movement in various directions.

Hip labral tear pain is felt in the front of the hip, the inner thigh (groin), knee, and buttock, along with a feeling of instability and stiffness in the hip joint.

Hip pain can originate in different locations and commonly co-occurs with knee pain and back pain. Pregnancy is a common contributor to hip pain.

Learn about the clinical assessments, physical tests and maneuvers, and imaging tests used to diagnose the cause of hip pain.

Learn about how hip pain feels, when it flares, and other symptoms and signs that occur alongside hip pain.

Learn about self-care, non-surgical, and surgical treatments for hip pain from various causes.

A combination of non-surgical treatments is generally effective in relieving frozen hip pain and restoring hip joint mobility.

Hip impingement causes pain from abnormal contact between the hip bones. It's known as Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI).

Snapping Hip Syndrome involves audible clicks in the hip joint during movement, potentially necessitating medical evaluation.
