What are the common types of Hip Pain?

 

Hip pain can be caused by many factors be it age or an injury. Some of the reasons are mentioned below:

𝐇𝐢𝐩 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬: Osteoarthritis, the most common type of hip arthritis is the general wear-and-tear of the cartilage in the hip joint.

𝐇𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Older people suffering from osteoporosis, a condition that leads to the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density over time, are especially prone to hip fractures.

𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧: When the muscle is overstretched or torn.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐇𝐢𝐩 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫): A region of injured tissue where blood capillaries have ruptured.

𝐎𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐬: Osteitis pubis is the inflammation of the pubic symphysis.

𝐇𝐢𝐩 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬: Inflammation of the bursa over the outside of the hip joint can cause pain with hip movement.

𝐈𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐚𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐩: The muscle, iliopsoas (hip flexor), that runs along the front of the hip, connecting the spine to the femur. If special care isn’t taken to properly stretch the iliopsoas before rigorous activity, its muscles and tendons may tighten, causing iliopsoas impingement.

𝐇𝐢𝐩 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐫: When a labral tear of the hip occurs, a piece of this tissue can become pinched in the joint, causing pain and "catching" sensations with movement.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬: A loose body is a small piece of dislodged cartilage or bone that floats within the joint causing sharp pain during movement.

𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬: Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is a condition resulting from a lack of blood supply to the femoral head, causing part of its bone to die.

𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Femoroacetablar impingement (FAI) is a condition where a bone spurs forms along the edge of the ball-and-socket hip joint.

Arthroscopy is a procedure in which an orthopedic surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic camera through a small incision to diagnose and treat joint conditions affecting joints such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, and wrist. The camera at the end of the instrument transmits images to the monitor that help surgeons to view the inside of the joint for better treatment.

Conditions treated with arthroscopy include:
• Lose bone fragments
• Damaged or torn cartilage
• Inflamed joint linings
• Torn ligaments
• Scarring within joints

Role of Meniscus

 

The structure of knee joint consists of three bones - the thighbone or “femur”, the shinbone or “tibia” and the kneecap or “patella”. In-between the thighbone and the shinbone there are two crescent shaped cartilages presents known as "meniscus”. These cartilages are very tough and have rubbery like structure that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone.

Meniscus also helps in dispersing the body weight and reduces friction during movement. However, it can become weak due to over stress or repetitive stress and tends to rupture. This is one of the most common of knee injuries seen in overweight people and athletes. A torn meniscus causes pain, swelling and locking in the joint.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant and Surgeon, if you feel pain, swelling and stiffness, it could be Meniscus Tear that may require a surgery. Dr. Biren Nadkarni will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation. He can be reached at SitaramBhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital at Okhla also.
