The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the leg and pelvis to move smoothly and freely. The socket is located in the pelvis, while the ball is formed by the upper end of the thigh bone (femur). A protective layer of cartilage cushions the joint, prevents bone-to-bone contact, and supports healthy hip mobility. Because the hip carries most of the body’s weight, it is more vulnerable to wear, injuries, and degenerative changes that may lead to common hip...
Over time, underlying hip pain causes such as hip cartilage damage, inflammation, or early hip osteoarthritis symptoms can begin to affect joint function. As the tissues weaken, individuals may experience hip joint stiffness, reduced flexibility, and persistent discomfort. Without timely chronic hip pain diagnosis and appropriate care, these hip mobility issues can worsen, making everyday activities like walking, sitting, or climbing stairs increasingly difficult.
Dr. S. Arumugam and his specialized team are the epitome of expertise in hip care, leveraging years of experience and advanced equipment to deliver unmatched results in hip replacement and hip condition treatment.
A degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the hip wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Hip osteoarthritis is one of the most common joint diseases, affecting mainly older adults as the protective cartilage covering the hip joint wears down with age. However, it can also occur in younger individuals with a history of hip injuries, developmental hip problems, obesity, or a family history of arthritis. Women are slightly more prone than men, and people with physically demanding jobs or repetitive stress on the hips are at higher risk.
| Condition | Conservative Treatments | Minimally Invasive Treatments | Surgical Treatments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hip Osteoarthritis | Exercise, weight loss, NSAIDs, pain meds | Joint injections, PRP (limited evidence) | Hip replacement, resurfacing |
| Hip Fractures | Pain control, mobility aids | Casting (rare, only for non-displaced/in young) | Internal fixation (screws, plates), partial/total replacement |
| Hip Dislocation | Analgesics, muscle relaxants | Closed reduction; joint injections for chronic pain | Open reduction, robotic-assisted replacement (complex cases) |
| Hip Dysplasia | Physical therapy, weight management | Bracing (in infants/children) | Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), total hip replacement |
| Osteonecrosis | Activity changes, NSAIDs, walking aids | Core decompression (early stage) | Bone grafts, vascularized fibula graft, total hip replacement |
| Hip Tumors | Pain control, supportive therapies | Targeted therapy, radiotherapy | Surgical tumor removal, chemotherapy |
Several medical conditions can affect the hip joint and lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The most commonly diagnosed hip conditions include:
