Symptoms & Common Causes
Common symptoms include groin pain, pain when walking, stiffness, reduced hip rotation, outer-hip tenderness and pain after prolonged sitting. Causes include arthritis, bursitis, tendon problems, injury, AVN and referred pain from the spine.
How We Diagnose the Problem
The assessment considers pain location, gait, hip range of motion, strength and nearby spine or joint findings. X-rays may assess arthritis and bone changes; MRI or other tests may be considered for soft-tissue problems, early AVN or unclear persistent symptoms.
Treatment Options
Depending on the cause, treatment can include activity modification, physiotherapy, strengthening, medicines when appropriate, targeted injections or pain-management procedures. Surgery is considered when there is significant structural damage or persistent functional limitation despite appropriate conservative care.
Recovery & When to Seek Help
Recovery varies by diagnosis. Gradual strengthening and movement are usually part of rehabilitation. Seek prompt care after a significant injury, sudden severe pain, inability to bear weight or rapidly worsening symptoms.
