Know Your Hip & Thigh

Hip & Thigh Anatomy

The hip is one of the body's largest weight-bearing joints, providing stability, strength and mobility for walking, running and daily activities. The hip joint is formed by the femoral head and the acetabulum of the pelvis, supported by muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage.

The thigh contains powerful muscle groups that work together with the hip joint to generate movement, maintain balance and support the body's weight. Healthy hip and thigh structures are essential for pain-free mobility and an active lifestyle.

Bones

The hip joint is formed by the femur and pelvis, creating a stable ball-and-socket joint.

Cartilage

Articular cartilage allows smooth movement and helps reduce friction within the joint.

Ligaments

Strong ligaments stabilize the hip and help maintain proper joint alignment.

Muscles & Tendons

The surrounding muscles and tendons provide movement, strength, balance and joint support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to some of the most common questions about hip and thigh pain, arthritis, sports injuries, joint replacement surgery, and orthopedic treatment options.

What are the most common causes of hip pain?

Hip pain can result from arthritis, bursitis, labral tears, hip impingement, tendon injuries, muscle strains, fractures, or sports-related injuries. A thorough orthopedic evaluation helps determine the underlying cause and the most appropriate treatment plan.

When should I see an orthopedic specialist for hip pain?

You should consult an orthopedic specialist if hip pain persists for more than a few days, interferes with walking, limits daily activities, causes stiffness, or develops after an injury. Early diagnosis often leads to better treatment outcomes.

What causes hip stiffness and reduced mobility?

Hip stiffness may be caused by osteoarthritis, hip impingement, labral tears, inflammation, muscle tightness, or previous injuries. Identifying the underlying condition is essential for restoring mobility and preventing further joint damage.

What is hip impingement (FAI)?

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) occurs when abnormal contact develops between the hip bones during movement. Over time, this can damage the labrum and cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

When is hip replacement surgery recommended?

Hip replacement surgery may be recommended when severe arthritis or joint damage causes persistent pain, reduced mobility, and diminished quality of life despite conservative treatments such as medication, injections, or physical therapy.

How long does recovery take after hip replacement surgery?

Recovery times vary depending on the individual and the type of procedure performed. Most patients begin walking shortly after surgery and continue rehabilitation over several weeks to months to regain strength, flexibility, and function.
