Hip Surgery
Understanding Hip Anatomy and Common Injuries
The hip joint is a vital component of the human body, enabling a wide range of motion and providing essential support for weight-bearing activities. It functions as a ball-and-socket joint, with the femoral head (the ball) fitting into the acetabulum (the socket) of the pelvis. This robust design allows for extensive mobility while maintaining stability.
Despite its strength, the hip is prone to various injuries and conditions due to its central role in movement and support. Common issues include osteoarthritis, leading to joint degeneration and pain; traumatic injuries like fractures; labral tears; bursitis; and tendonitis. These conditions can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, making effective treatment paramount.
