Anatomy of the Hip
It is one of the body’s largest joints. It is a “ball-and-socket” joint. The socket is formed by the acetabulum, which is part of the large pelvis bone. The ball is the femoral head, which is the upper end of the femur (thighbone).
The bone surfaces of the ball and socket are covered with articular cartilage, a smooth, slippery substance that protects and cushions the bones and enables them to move easily.
The surface of the joint is covered by a thin lining called the synovium. In a healthy joint, the synovium produces a small amount of fluid that lubricates the cartilage and aids in movement.
What causes hip pain?
Pain may arise from structures that are within the joint or from structures surrounding the hip. It can occur when any problems occur to the muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, or soft tissues that make up the joint.
Pain can be referred from other structures outside the joint, meaning that while the joint hurts, the problem may potentially originate elsewhere. Numerous conditions can cause pain of the region. These include arthritis, trochanteric bursitis, impingement, fractures, sprains and strains.
